Kone Foundation’s autumn 2024 thematic call, Media and Democracy in Finland in the 2020’s, examines changes in the media environment, diversity, and pluralism from a democratic perspective. In the theme call, the foundation can fund projects that, through research, enhance understanding of, for example, the impacts of media concentration, content homogenization, or changes in editorial practices on democracy, or explore the effects of social media and traditional media on democracy in Finland and globally. The foundation encourages collaboration between researchers and journalists in the projects. The thematic grant call will be organised in conjunction with the annual grant call, 1–15 September, 2024.

Apply for funding by submitting your application and attachments using the Online Grant Service. The service is open during the annual application period in September. Read more: https://koneensaatio.fi/en/grants/grantapplicants/
