This is increasingly reflecting in their popularity among readers, listeners and viewers. By implementing new business models, media outlets can unlock a new revenue stream, compensate for their HR and financial deficit as well as improve the efficiency of their editorship.<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\">\n    #naslov-block-block_6203682aa516b {\n        \/* Add styles that use ACF values here *\/\n    }\n<\/style>\n\n<div id=\"naslov-block-block_6203682aa516b\" class=\"container-m block-naslov-block\">\n    <h3 class=\"bela\">Background<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\">\n    #odstavek-block-block_620371bf03c4a {\n        \/* Add styles that use ACF values here *\/\n    }\n<\/style>\n\n<div id=\"odstavek-block-block_620371bf03c4a\" class=\"container-m block-odstavek-block\">\n    <p><i>Njuz.net<\/i>, <i>Vidi Vaka<\/i>, <i>360 stepeni<\/i> and <i>Sloboden pe\u010dat<\/i> are just some of the media outlets from West Balkans, which are facing a HR and financial deficit, preventing them them from fulfilling their mission. The lack of systematic financing of quality production and the decline of interest for purchasing or supporting quality stories \u2013 which are the consequence of complex changes in the digital market \u2013 often push these media outlets to the brink of existence.<\/p>\n<p>These days, a hefty portion of income in the digitalized media inustry is generated by so-called paywalls, which media outlets use to provide news to their subscribers. But there are not nearly enough subscribers willing to pay a fixed subscription fee in the West Balnaks to sustain the operation of independent media outlets.<\/p>\n<p>Such media outlets therefore largely rely on the financing obtained through calls for tenders. However, in the last few years, tenders have begun shifting their focus to sustainable, long-term projects. This also applies Internews and the Thomson Foundation, which started financing consultations on revamping business models and investments that &#8220;teach media outlets to fish, instead of giving them actual fish&#8221;.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\">\n    #naslov-block-block_6203725b03c4b {\n        \/* Add styles that use ACF values here *\/\n    }\n<\/style>\n\n<div id=\"naslov-block-block_6203725b03c4b\" class=\"container-m block-naslov-block\">\n    <h3 class=\"bela\">Solution<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\">\n    #odstavek-block-block_6203726b03c4c {\n        \/* Add styles that use ACF values here *\/\n    }\n<\/style>\n\n<div id=\"odstavek-block-block_6203726b03c4c\" class=\"container-m block-odstavek-block\">\n    <p>Jernej Verbi\u010d, our company director, is one of Internews&#8217; and Thomson Foundation&#8217;s consultants. He provides consulting to selected media outlets, basing his approach on the brand newsroom model. This model is the most fitting for media outlets since they already have most employee profiles required for establishing a brand newsroom.<\/p>\n<p>For instance, even before the consultations took place, the Macedonian <i>Vidi Vaka<\/i> already had a quality production team of cameramen, video editors and animators who produced feature stories for social media channels. In fact, this team was the first in the region to pioneer in the field of &#8220;social media only&#8221;, targeting mostly the young population. The only employee profile they lacked to establish a brand newsroom was a content producer who would be in charge of creating content concepts for each brand newsroom project.<\/p>\n<p>But establishing a brand newsroo is not only a means of unlocking new revenue streams. It also allows media outlets to boost the production quality of their news. Outlets which don&#8217;t have their own production team can utilize the extra production capacities to increase the efficiency of their newsroom and produce video reports and news, following the example of <i>Vidi Vaka<\/i>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\">\n    #naslov-block-block_6217828a5be61 {\n        \/* Add styles that use ACF values here *\/\n    }\n<\/style>\n\n<div id=\"naslov-block-block_6217828a5be61\" class=\"container-m block-naslov-block\">\n    <h3 class=\"bela\">Outcome<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\">\n    #odstavek-block-block_6217828e5be62 {\n        \/* Add styles that use ACF values here *\/\n    }\n<\/style>\n\n<div id=\"odstavek-block-block_6217828e5be62\" class=\"container-m block-odstavek-block\">\n    <p>The development of <i>Vidi Vaka<\/i>&#8216;s brand newsroom is still in the accelerator stage. Nevertheless, it has notably increased the media outlet&#8217;s montly income in merely six months. The &#8220;hard news&#8221; newsroom thrilled not only with the reinforcements in the creative production team and the consequent production quality improvements, but also with the increased reach of their stories. In this starting phase, the brand newsroom team is focused on development since majority of the team also works on news projects and is fully booked.<\/p>\n<p>On-going consultations and organizational changes are also showing promising results in other company areas. The (digital) skills of their marketing managers, who market brand newsroom services, are also being utilized in the promotion of news stories. Their reach on Facebook has exceeded a record-breaking one million users. To put the numbers in perspective \u2013 North Macedonia has around 1.2 million Facebook users.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\">\n    #citat-block-block_6217834d8eb82 {\n        \/* Add styles that use ACF values here *\/\n    }\n<\/style>\n\n<div id=\"citat-block-block_6217834d8eb82\" class=\"container-m block-citat-block\">\n    <h3><\/h3>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\">\n    #citat-block-block_621783648eb83 {\n        \/* Add styles that use ACF values here *\/\n    }\n<\/style>\n\n<div id=\"citat-block-block_621783648eb83\" class=\"container-m block-citat-block\">\n    <h3>The reach on Facebook has exceeded a record-breaking one million users.<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\">\n    #odstavek-block-block_624ed88d4ce67 {\n        \/* Add styles that use ACF values here *\/\n    }\n<\/style>\n\n<div id=\"odstavek-block-block_624ed88d4ce67\" class=\"container-m block-odstavek-block\">\n    <p>You can learn more about the consulting process and the key highlights from our workshops in the articles, which we have published on the British journalist portal <i>Journalift<\/i>:<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 <u><a href=\"https:\/\/journalift.org\/brand-newsroom-organization-and-workflow\/\">Brand Newsroom: Organization and Flow<\/a><\/u>;<br \/>\n\u2022 <u><a href=\"https:\/\/journalift.org\/brand-newsroom-a-new-revenue-stream-for-media-outlets\/\">Brand Newsroom: A New Revenue Stream for Media Outlets<\/a><\/u>.<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":2355,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[18],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1051","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-strategic"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v18.6 -
