We empower digital media sustainability to strengthen editorial independence

Our Mission

Our mission is to improve media sustainability so that journalists can publish vital information with greater editorial independence and impact in their communities.

Team

Our core team is made up of journalists, entrepreneurs, teachers, and innovators who understand how difficult it is to start and grow a news organization. We know because many of us have founded media startups ourselves.

Our team of ambassadors conduct research and build networks in more than 20 countries in Latin America, the United States and Spain.

We also hire consultants, mentors, and academics to provide expertise in our research, training and acceleration programs.

 

Where we work

Our first language is Spanish and most of our core team is Latin American, but we work with professionals from more than 60 countries on research and other projects. This international diversity enables us to recognize global trends and build partnerships. 

Our roots are in Latin America, where we first began studying journalism entrepreneurs in 2015. We quickly expanded to include Spanish-language media in Spain, Canada and the U.S

To better understand global trends, in 2021, we expanded our research to include media in Southeast Asia and Africa, producing a report on common trends, opportunities and challenges. 

In 2023, we expanded to Europe, hiring a team of researchers to map and study independent digital media in more than 44 countries. 

In 2024, we launched Global Project Oasis, a report and directory that includes media in Latin America, the United States and Canada, and Europe. Next, we plan to expand our research into Australia, New Zealand, India, and Africa.

Areas of focus

Acceleration

Our media acceleration programs provide financial support, leadership, and management training, so that media leaders can take better care of themselves and their teams.

Education

We train journalists, media leaders, professors and consultants through our online courses, interactive webinars, in-person workshops, and events.

Community

We create networking opportunities and promote collaboration, knowledge exchange, connection, and inspiration online and off.

Research

At SembraMedia we never do anything without studying it first. We leverage what we learn to develop our training and acceleration programs.

We work with media that are innovative, chevere, chouettes, legais, copados and very cool.
