The Simon Cumbers Media Fund supports journalists in Ireland to report on issues of global development.
The media plays an important role in informing the public about major issues facing our world today. This fund promotes quality coverage of global development issues in the Irish media by supporting journalists to travel to the Global South to produce a report for publication.
The fund is named in honour of Simon Cumbers (pictured above), an Irish journalist who was killed while working for the BBC in Saudi Arabia in 2004.
