RTÉ’s ‘dominance’ of advert market threatens papers
Representing the country’s print media, National Newspapers of Ireland (NNI) coordinating director Frank Cullen said that “successive governments have failed to implement a cohesive media policy”.
Mr Cullen outlined the problems in the Irish media market, with publicly-funded broadcaster RTÉ already having 60% of the TV advertising market, the highest retained by any public service broadcaster in Europe, where the average is between 27% and 29%.
