Nina Grunenberg Fellowship
Since 2024 Publix awards the Nina Grunenberg Fellowship, a further education scholarship for journalists and media professionals, that provides an insight into the German school system.
Media Forward Fund
Development of a fund for innovation projects and start-ups in the field of public interest journalism in Switzerland, Austria and Germany.
As an incubator, Publix supports journalistic start-ups, such as Tobias Haberkorn, founding editor of Berlin Review - Zeitschrift für Bücher und Ideen, last year. In future, Publix would like to make a contribution to ensuring that journalistic projects oriented towards the common good also receive support beyond the start-up phase. That is why we are currently evaluating the feasibility of a media fund in collaboration with the Schöpflin Foundation. This project is funded by the Federal Government Commissioner for Culture and the Media (BKM). The new funding instrument is intended to support innovation projects and start-ups in the field of journalism for the common good in Switzerland, Austria and Germany and close a gap in the funding landscape.
