Programmes
Adamela's previous programmes include financial reporting fellowships, a specialist data journalism programme, arts reporting initiatives and social justice reporting internships. Below are the three core programmes currently underway.
M&G Guardians
Designed to support independent journalists working on in-depth investigative, documentary and feature stories, The M&G Guardians programme provides funding and access to the platforms and resources of Adamela's partner, the Mail & Guardian. It also acts as a buffer between funders and journalists, which serves to safeguard trust in editorial independence and integrity.
M&G Climate Reporting Hub
The Climate Reporting Hub is a specialist reporting unit integrated into the M&G newsroom. Funded by Open Society and led by senior editors overseeing a team of junior and mid-level journalists, its mandate is to broaden and deepen climate reporting in South Africa, with a focus on the just transition to renewable energy.
