Make media. Make it niche. Make it about your user. Make money.

The future of media is user-centred, demand-driven, and interest-based.

The Splice mission

We help you build a viable media business.

The Splice theory of change

We believe that a healthy, viable media ecosystem requires a broader definition of media, an obsessive focus on serving users’ needs, and monetary value from that service.

Our plan: to discover, document, accelerate, and celebrate media creators and startups.

And do this every single year.

Discover

We assess the needs of journalism startups and creators across Asia with ecosystem landscape audits that provide insights and recommendations for transformation

January to March

Document

We document the media ecosystem to create a database into how it currently works together — and how it could potentially work together. We do this by

  • Building a database of the global media ecosystem

  • Creating profiles (articles, podcasts)

  • Teaching case studies (lessons, podcasts)

All year

Accelerate

We offer a suite of services to help journalism creators build stronger branding, discovery, additional formats, and ultimately, more viable small media businesses.

  • Train: Teach journalism creators how to build a viable media startup

  • Transform: Transform media startups in Asia by helping them build products that are relevant and valuable for the audiences they serve

April to August

Celebrate

We celebrate the community by showcasing the work of media startups and creators in an annual IRL festival in Chiang Mai
