Print Application

While the MDDA has contributed significantly to the transformation of the media landscape in South Africa, there are still communities, including special interest groups, such as the youth and people living with disabilities, that are underserved by the mainstream media. To address this gap, the community print applications call for this year is targeting organisations owned or focusing on youth, women and persons with disabilities related content in the Western Cape, Limpopo, Gauteng, KwaZulu Natal and Free State. Print publications, especially those that publish in indigenous languages are encouraged to apply to assist further the agenda of media development and diversity in rural communities.
