Blogs & conversations How the UK can learn from impact media platforms in the USA and India

Through my Churchill Fellowship, I explored how impact media platforms in the USA, India, and Sri Lanka are funded, structured, and sustained. Meeting over 100 media leaders, I saw thriving models that blend philanthropy, individual support, and social enterprise to drive democratic engagement and social change. The UK faces real challenges in sustaining independent impact media, but by learning from these approaches, we can develop new funding models, strengthen governance, and build a more resilient sector.
