## About the DC-Journalism

Established in April 2019 the Dynamic Coalition on the Sustainability of Journalism and News Media (DC-Journalism) is a multi-stakeholder initiative formally operating within the IGF that is meant to be a hub for the journalism, news media, press freedom, journalism support, and media development communities to engage with important Internet governance and digital policy matters.&#x20;

The DC-Journalism, *previously known as DC-Sustainability*, arose as a key recommendation in our [2018 issue paper](https://policy-advocacy.gfmd.info/gfmd-initiatives/dynamic-coalition-sustainability/articles#governing-digital-convergence-an-issue-paper-on-media-development-and-internet-governance-2018-micha), and it specifically identified the sustainability of journalism and news media in the digital age as an area that urgently requires greater policy support. In the two years since it was launched, the Hub has evolved into a lively platform for conversations about media sustainability and with its global membership, the Hub has become a valuable space to collectively evaluate national-level opportunities and barriers to different solutions currently being explored by governments, advocacy organizations, and by newsrooms as they independently look to diversify income streams.
