BRUSSELS - RePIM (Revisioning Public Interest Media) is a four-year Marie Skłodowska-Curie Doctoral Network that investigates how public interest media (PIM) - including public service media, quality journalism, and trusted online information providers - can remain relevant, resilient, and impactful in a data-driven, platformised, and AI-powered media ecosystem.

Public interest media face increasing pressure from global platforms, shifting audience behaviour, and fast-paced technological change. To respond, RePIM brings together leading European universities, public media organisations, regulators, and civil-society partners to train 12 doctoral candidates and generate new insights into the future of PIM. Journalismfund Europe is one of the associated partners.

Through interdisciplinary research, hands-on industry engagement, and a Europe-wide training programme, RePIM explores how public interest media can be produced, distributed, governed and sustained in the coming decades. The project focuses on four core objectives:

  • Reinterpreting public interest values in changing geopolitical and technological contexts
  • Evaluating new organisational and technical models
  • Developing strategies for content, audiences, and distribution
  • Proposing future-proof regulatory frameworks

RePIM aims to strengthen the innovation capacity, societal role, and long-term sustainability of public interest media across Europe. More info here: repimnetwork.eu

The RePIM consortium brings together a carefully balanced group of universities, research centres, public service media organisations and industry partners across Europe, selected to ensure strong scientific excellence, real-world relevance, and complementary expertise. More here: repimnetwork.eu

This project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon Europe research and innovation programme under the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions Doctoral Networks (grant agreement No 101227216 – RePIM).
