Dragomir on Financial Trends in the Media

The subscription model has proved to be the most successful business model for independent media in Europe, CMDS’ Director Marius Dragomir argued at an online conference organized by the Association of Electronic Press (APEL) in Moldova. A report about the transparency of financing in the Moldovan media was launched at the event. The report was produced as part of an ongoing cooperation between APEL and CMDS.

He also mentioned that data on the economic performance of media organizations exist in many European countries and are usually publically available. Still, it is often difficult to understand how much money each outlet in a larger media company earns.
