Media-related news

The first issue of the daily newspaper San, announced long ago, is available at newsstands as of today. The newspaper has been printed in 300,000 copies and will be available for free. The same number of copies of the new tabloid will also be printed on the second day, while its third issue will be sold for the price of only 15 dinars, which will constitute a huge challenge to the existing daily newspapers. The editorial team of San says that its concept will differ from the existing tabloids: political topics will dominate over the show business-related news.

During the event, the participants also mentioned that the digitalization process involves many uncertainties, like costs for local broadcasters, and that some of the necessary documents, for example network projects and coverage plans, have not been prepared.
