For 3 years, at Médianes, we've been helping media leaders produce better journalism and monetize it through their audiences. We understand how complex it is to develop an independent, sustainable and ethical media business. That's why we work every day to find the best ways and tools to help you and grow your projects through our consulting studio and media platform.
This fall, we're entering a new chapter of this adventure! We're developing our first collective mentoring program dedicated to you, independent and engaged media founders. An adventure made possible thanks to a grant from the Ministry of Culture but also thanks to you and our daily exchanges.
Our ambition: to enable you to join the Médianes Programme in the first half of 2024, whether as a participant and/or as a speaker! A programme built with you to best address your needs and challenges and help your projects grow.

A tailored support program
Marketing, finances, project management, management, legal, administrative, design, operations, communication… We want to offer you training sessions, workshops and experience feedback to give you the keys, methods, tools, resources and contacts you need for your development.
Topics covered, formats, speakers, pace, location, resources, budget… We want to develop this support program with you and for you. The goal? To help you scale up, through a program tailored to your needs and expectations as well as your availability and constraints.
A supportive community
At Médianes, we believe in the power of collective action and we know how crucial your community is when you're developing an independent and engaged project. We're convinced that support between creators is key to living up to the values and causes we care about: feminism, ecology, antiracism, social justice, territorial representation, and Europe.
Being able to benefit from a community seems key to us. For 3 years, we've sought to bring together—through our media outlet and studio—a network of journalists, leaders, and media project creators committed to an inclusive and sustainable society.
Through the Médianes program, we aim to bring our community together around an online and offline collective, with exclusive benefits. As a facilitator or participant, you would have access to this collective.
Our expertise: 80+ media outlets supported and keen insight into media
Marketing, management, design, monitoring, tech… Since 2020, we've been able to collaborate through our support studio, with more than 80 editorial teams in their development, of which 70% are impact-driven projects. Emerging media such as La Déferlante, Vert, La Disparition, Climax, Censored, Le Ticket, Pays or Kometa. More established media like StreetPress, Arrêt sur images, AOC, or Mediabask. And established media such as Contexte, 60 Millions de Consommateurs, RFI, France 24 or POLITICO Europe.
In addition to providing strategic and operational support to media outlets, we have made the methodology and keys to launching your own media freely accessible through our nonprofit media. We also share analyses, best practices and case studies with over 3,000 leaders and creators through our newsletters and our podcast.

About Médianes
Launched in 2020, Médianes is a strategy, marketing and design studio, as well as a resource center dedicated to independent and mission-driven media. Its objective? To support leaders and their editorial teams in producing quality journalism and monetizing it through their audiences in a sustainable way.
Médianes is an entrepreneurial and associative project that supports media, those who found them, and those who create them. Médianes is built on a hybrid model: a strategy studio (agency) operated by a corporation that supports independent and engaged media, and a resource center (media) operated by a nonprofit association.
