The Association of Independent Publishers (AIP) and Google have partnered to establish the Digital News Transformation Fund (the DNT Fund), a first-of-its-kind initiative to support the sustainability and digital transformation of small, local, and independent news publishers in South Africa through targeted project-based funding.
The DNT Fund seeks to recognise the importance of local and independent news publishers in maintaining a vibrant, trusted, and diverse public interest news ecosystem, and to address the resource challenges that have impacted the ability of these publishers to plan for and embark on digital transformation initiatives.
