RePIM Project
RePIM (Revisioning Public Interest Media) is a four-year Marie Skłodowska-Curie Doctoral Network that investigates how public interest media (PIM)—including public service media, quality journalism, and trusted online information providers—can remain relevant, resilient, and impactful in a data-driven, platformised, and AI-powered media ecosystem.
Public interest media face increasing pressure from global platforms, shifting audience behaviour, and fast-paced technological change. To respond, RePIM brings together leading European universities, public media organisations, regulators, and civil-society partners to train 12 Doctoral Candidates and generate new insights into the future of PIM.
Through interdisciplinary research, hands-on industry engagement, and a Europe-wide training programme, RePIM explores how public interest media can be produced, distributed, governed and sustained in the coming decades. The project focuses on four core objectives:
- Reinterpreting public interest values in changing geopolitical and technological contexts
- Evaluating new organisational and technical models
- Developing strategies for content, audiences, and distribution
- Proposing future-proof regulatory frameworks
RePIM aims to strengthen the innovation capacity, societal role, and long-term sustainability of public interest media across Europe.
