Vlast, a niche media outlet in exile offering exclusive reporting on the Russian authorities, is more than an international edition of its Russian-language counterpart. This approach, unconventional among exiled Russian media, appears to be paying off. Veronica Snoj spoke with journalist Farida Rustamova.
| 2 | The Russian government is pushing people to download MAX, a new messaging app. How can this impact Russian independent media, which has largely taken refuge in Telegram, one of the few uncensored spaces still available to the Russian public?
◼ Over the summer of 2025, a new app began attracting attention: the MAX messenger, launched earlier this year by a subsidiary of VK, the popular Russian Facebook alternative.
◼ There was one thing that distinguished this app from others: Russian President Vladimir Putin, known for not publicly using social media, personally endorsed it. “Never before has Putin personally promoted or advertised an IT product,” Mikhail Klimarev, the executive director of the Russian digital rights group Internet Protection Society, told The Fix.
◼ Branded as the Russian “national” messenger, MAX is being pushed as the platform for all administrative communication, as well as for online school classes.
◼ As of September 2025, the MAX app has been pre-installed on all smartphones sold in Russia.
◼ In October 2025, VK announced that the number of registered MAX users had exceeded 40 million, roughly a quarter of Russia’s population.
◼ As Russia pushes the MAX app, it also clamps down on popular apps it cannot directly control.
◼ In October 2025, it blocked the call function in Telegram and WhatsApp, two of the most widely used messenger apps in the country.
◼ “I think that in the near future, as soon as some KPI [key performance indicator] is met, say MAX’s installs reaching half of all Russians, maybe 50 million downloads, at that point they might block all the other messengers,” Klimarev says.

| 3 | Reader memberships, advertising, grants, corporate philanthropy – @mistomediaonline is building toward four equal revenue streams to stay independent. Hleb Liapeika examines how one Ukrainian regional outlet is working toward self-sufficiency during the war. | 50 |
| 4 | How can a deaf journalism student work in the audio-heavy radio medium? Romain Chauvet spoke with Xavier Vinaixa, the technical director of a project that uses AI to enable just that. | 55 |
| 5 | Over 60% of Spain's journalism students are women. Only 5% of its major media outlets are led by one. Spain is a pioneer for women’s rights – but is it a model for women in journalism? Romain Chauvet reports for The Fix. | 75 |
| 6 | Across Europe, journalism is stepping out of the newsroom and onto the stage. What began as sporadic experiments has evolved into a field of its own, hailed for its potential to rebuild trust, reach new audiences, and diversify revenue.
◼ When journalism moves from the page to the stage, it reaches people far beyond its usual readership, giving smaller outlets a visibility they could never buy. "Obviously, it’s a different crowd from an investigative magazine like Dossier," says founder Florian Skrabal. "You reach different age groups, more culturally minded people.”
◼ Catarina Carvalho of Mensagem de Lisboa noticed the same: "A lot don’t [know us]. They come because it’s a live journalism event, not because they know us.”
◼ The impact goes beyond ticket sales. "It’s difficult to measure," Skrabal says, "but we see bigger media attention. Even the Financial Times wrote about our plays.” Live journalism can also drive reader revenue. "We see spikes in membership on the nights and days after a show," Skrabal notes, estimating that 5-15% of audience members become paying supporters.
◼ Working with theatre professionals also reshapes how journalists think about storytelling. "We learned that a short, straight-to-the-point live narrative can be more impactful than a long, traditional article,” explains Carvalho.
◼ But these projects aren't a fit for every newsroom. "If your model is fast news, it will not work,” Skrabal says. “But if you focus on slow, investigative or explanatory journalism, it becomes another way to reach your audience.”
◼ For Carvalho, the goal is impact over scale. "It’s not about numbers. It’s about people understanding the value of journalism. When a hundred people in one room really connect with a story, that matters more than a thousand who just scroll past it online.”
❓This move to live performance suggests a powerful way to deepen audience connection and demonstrate the value of reporting. In an increasingly digital world, what is the role of live, in-person events in building trust and sustainability for journalism?

| 8 | French local media Groupe Actu successfully shifted from a fully free digital model to paid subscriptions across its 120 outlets. Romain Chauvet spoke with its deputy director, Amandine Briand, about the transition. | 77 |
| 9 | As platforms deprioritise news and media ownership concentrates, eight independent French media outlets have formed a powerful alliance. Their solution: "La Presse Libre" (The Free Press), a joint subscription platform designed to regain control over news distribution and combat the influence of conservative billionaires.
◼ The project was born from a growing concern over media concentration in France. "It was Daniel Schneiderman, a well-known figure in the media world... who took up the cause, trying to bring together a number of media outlets around this idea to create a single subscription and a platform to unify them," project manager Jean-Marie Leforestier told Romain Chauvet.
◼ The platform offers a single €19.90/month subscription for access to all eight outlets, with a dedicated team curating a selection of articles each day. A key feature is a shared search engine. "At a time when search engine results are polluted by AI-generated sites, being able to offer a safe search engine within our ecosystem was crucial," Leforestier explains. "This is a response to the bewildered reader."
◼ Convincing the outlets to join required a leap of faith, banking on the idea that "together we'll sell far more than each one could on their own." The initial results are promising, with over 2,500 subscribers in the first month.
◼ Crucially, the platform is attracting new readers. "External subscribers outnumber those coming from our media outlets," Leforestier notes. "This means that it's also a tool that won't just pool existing subscribers but will actually convince new people to subscribe to independent publications."
❓This alliance represents a powerful strategy for independent media to compete against web giants by offering a trusted, curated ecosystem. Could collaborative platforms like this be the key to sustainability for independent journalism?

| 10 | A student-run Hungarian outlet got the new education minister's first interview, has been quoted by senior journalists, and funds itself by throwing parties. We profiled Balzac, founded by two 15-year-olds in 2022. | 69 |
| 11 | 🇺🇦How does a 14-person newsroom shape Ukraine’s foreign policy?
European Pravda punches above its weight in shaping Ukraine’s foreign policy. Founded in the wake of the 2014 Revolution of Dignity, the 14-person newsroom covers what has been Ukraine’s defining national project ever since: integration into the EU and NATO. It is an influential voice on that path, read and watched by top policymakers.
For the latest episode of FixEd, The Fix's Anton Protsiuk spoke with co-founder and editor Sergiy Sydorenko and English-language editor Daria Meshcheriakova about shaping policy as a small newsroom, not pivoting to video early enough, and hoping to one day fulfill their mission and go fishing.

| 13 | With only two million residents, Slovenia is already a small market for media initiatives. In this context, how does Ovtar24, a local outlet primarily serving a countryside area with about 20,000 residents, navigate financing, engagement with the local population, and offering solutions to local issues? Veronica Snoj reports in a new piece for The Fix. | 87 |
| 14 | Three takeaways from Reuters Institute's Digital News Report 2026 by The Fix’s Hleb Liapeika: AI chatbots are a growing news source (but loyalty is elusive), on-site video is underrated, and Ireland proves the ceiling for paying for news can rise. | 69 |
| 15 |  The latest data on top European news publishers on TikTok reveals a massive surge in audience growth across the board. While legacy giants and digital natives are both scaling rapidly, their strategies—and the engagement they drive—vary wildly.
📊 Key takeaways from the updated 2026 rankings:
🥇 The undisputed leader: Daily Mail dominates the field with 26.2 million followers and a staggering 3.8 billion likes.
📈 Explosive growth: Outlets like Reuters (+721%), GB News (+206%), and El Español (+176%) are seeing astronomical year-over-year growth rates.
🫂 Engagement efficiency: It’s not just about follower count. Spain's El Español boasts a 152x multiple of likes-to-followers, proving that algorithmic reach can outpace your core subscriber base by a wide margin.
📹 Legacy publishers are no longer just experimenting with short-form video; they are treating it as a core pillar of their distribution strategy.

| 16 | For international broadcasters like Deutsche Welle and the BBC, producing content across dozens of languages is a monumental operational challenge. A new AI-assisted platform called "plain X," co-developed by Deutsche Welle, is designed to solve this by automating content adaptation and promising huge efficiency gains.
◼ "If you have 32 languages to cover, you produce a lot of content twice or even thrice. But how do you exchange it?" asks Mirko Lorenz, Innovation Manager at Deutsche Welle. The solution is a four-in-one platform that can "transcribe audio and video to text, translate into over 100 languages, subtitle with customisable templates for different platforms or voice-over with various voices and accents."
◼ The impact is significant, with promises of up to 85% time savings for transcription and up to 95% for subtitling. At Deutsche Welle alone, 1,000 editors are now using the platform.
◼ Crucially, this isn't just a tool for media giants. Its volume-based pricing, rather than per-seat licensing, makes it accessible to smaller newsrooms. "In the software-as-a-service world, you can quickly find yourself in a kind of prison. Because if I invite you just for half an hour to review my article, it will count as another seat. And all of a sudden we are 600 euros or 300 euros more in pay. That is unsustainable for smaller newsrooms," Lorenz notes.
◼ The platform's philosophy emphasizes the "human in the loop." "The technologies are not as perfect as advertised," Lorenz states. The goal is not to replace journalists but to augment their work. "We need and we want to reduce the cost of human interaction. Which does not necessarily mean that the newsroom needs to be smaller. Potentially, it can have a much bigger output."
❓Plain X demonstrates how AI can be a powerful assistant, handling the heavy lifting of content adaptation so journalists can focus on original reporting. As these tools become more accessible, how might they change the economics and reach of smaller, local newsrooms?
