The ceremony in Tunis presented the most recent disruptive Tunisian projects. Once again, the media start-up teams of the 2023 cohort of DW Akademie’s media incubation program faced a demanding journey of development stages and objectives to reach their potential. The approach made it possible to measure the commitment, robustness and talent of the teams involved. This year, the five teams who completed the incubation process are now part of the growing MEDIA LOVES TECH family. Although only one could claim the top prize at the ceremony on December 8th in Tunis, all teams were able to develop their projects in depth. Each project shows strong potential for the future. Yaluna wins grand prize in 2023 Aziz Chaibi, co-founder of Yaluna. The online magazine aims to inspire young people in Tunisia Winner of the program’s grand prize, the online magazine Yaluna presents itself as a media organization that relies on solutions journalism to “help young people stay informed and inspired.” Active on social media, Yaluna addresses a wide range of subjects, including environment and health, using a constructive approach. Paul Schütte, DW Akademie’s program manager for MEDIA LOVES TECH congratulated the entire Yaluna team. "While the global trend is towards distrust and disinterest in the media and information, Yaluna is the attempts a positive approach to news, to show what works, what drives people, what inspires. Like everywhere else, Tunisia can only benefit from such a project," he stated. "Furthermore, there is an educational dimension to which we are very attached. Transmitting knowledge and helping to understand the approaches to gathering information are essential for developing an informed opinion." The grand prize will help Yaluna to structure itself further, and develop both the quality of its editorial offering and its business model.
