GHENT - The “Creative Funding for Creative Media” conference brought together leading US and European pioneers of crowd- and philanthropically-funded journalism for the first time in a European forum. The post-conference report has now been published.

On 6 and 7 November 2012, more than 100 key players gathered in the International Convention Centre in Ghent, Belgium to discuss the overwhelming dynamics of this sector and reflect on its potential impact on Europe’s media sector, which is currently in the process of adapting to the constant flow of technological innovations.

The post-conference report features interviews with a few of the speakers and examples of some of the projects highlighted over the two-day conference. Furthermore, it aims to summarize the outcome of the discussions that took place in Ghent and outline the way forward for this newly-formed community across Europe.
