SMS Facility – Small Media Support in Western Balkans

We're launching the SMS Facility to strengthen over 120 small media outlets across the Western Balkans. We provide targeted funding, practical training and mentoring. It's a highly cost-efficient way to help local media become resilient and produce over 600 high-quality stories. Ultimately, this protects independent journalism and ensures communities get reliable information.
