Against the Platforms: A free Press needs multivariate Financing

Invitation to the webinar on May 25, 2023, from 10.30 to 11.00 am CET

Publishers financed by advertising are facing challenging times as they are confronted with many regulatory requirements and technical restrictions. Particularly in the area of personalised advertising targeting users, fundamental innovations are emerging in some cases.

In the presentation “Against the Platforms: A free Press needs multivariate Financing”, you will learn how publishers are growing their direct customer relationships. Publishers’ development of a strong, privacy-friendly first-party data stack and their full control over that data is a safe alternative for users and a powerful alternative for advertisers to the increasingly disappearing third-party cookies and walled gardens of the big tech platforms.
