Travel of subscriptions

  • 66% of the Spanish population that consumes digital media or the press pays nothing for it. Now, digital starts paying a little more, but little, because 13% paid something in 2022 (Digital News Report Spain 2023). University of Navarra).
Zarata mediatikoz beteriko garai nahasiotan, merkatu logiketatik urrun eta irakurleengandik gertu dagoen kazetaritza beharrezkoa dela uste baduzu, ARGIA bultzatzera animatu nahi zaitugu. Geroz eta gehiago gara, jarrai dezagun txikitik eragiten.

It wouldn't be ARGIA if nobody paid for it, but everything that happens in us can be consumed for free. It is a bet we have made because we want and want, because it is the best for the world that defends our news project: the Basque Country, sovereign and, among other things, a journalism that helps to overcome capitalism and patriarchy.

You can't be able to hear that we've made a new subscriber and every drop hits you. Last week, for example, a subscriber went out because we interviewed EHKS because we think we published a lot about them. I have also seen interviews or information about EHKS in the Basque Country Irratia, Berria and Gara, but I do not know if they are many or few, and that is why they receive casualties.

In his 35-year journalism career I have seen them on several occasions in ARGIA, because now they “play the enemy”, then “you have made the PNV” and the next “by the terrorists”. Some go, others come and others come back. And each of those journeys, whenever there is no insult between them, deserves the utmost respect, because for a moment it has been our pillar and because displacement is a right of anyone, from anywhere to anywhere.

In the 2008 crisis, more than once we thought that wave would catch us underneath. For various reasons, it was bad years for subscriptions, but around it, from 2012-2015, we refined the north, and we have been pushing those winds to this day, more subscribers than lost in recent years. In the early 1990s or in the 2000s, I could hardly think of it, and today I keep hearing my colleagues' data with surprise. We have to break our heads to keep that treasure, yes.

I find the European revolution and the construction of the European Communist Party from Euskal Herria incredible and surprising. But today it is so incomprehensible to believe that not so much the Abertzale left would achieve independence and socialism, let alone forcing the Spanish state to do so with arms. The truth is that those who believed it had their reasons to think that, and that the present young communists are theirs. I believe that one of the tasks of the journalist is to bring these reasons to the reader so that he appreciates his maturity and draws his conclusions. Information will always make us more mature, free and independent. Misinformation and censorship break our thinking and our freedom.

'Gero': the future of the past

Let's talk clearly, bluntly, without having to move later to say what I had to say: this game, which consists of putting together the letters in Basque, happened to Axular. Almost as soon as the game is invented, in such a way that in most of Gero's pages the author gives the... [+]
