How is GEN funded?

GEN is a non-profit organization, financed by: - its members’ subscriptions, - subsidies, legacies or donations, - the organization of events for editors, - the supply of services and products for professionals of the news industry, - any other legal resource within the scope of a non-profit association. For its launching period (2011 and 2012), GEN will be funded by five strategic partners, media groups, IT companies, advertising groups, telcos. Nevertheless, GEN statutes specify that “resources from suppliers of services to the news industries must never exceed half of the Association’s resources: this is a fundamental condition for the credibility and the legitimacy of The Global Editors Network action to support quality journalism and our community”. It means that GEN is and will remain independent from suppliers’ requests.
