The Irish Independent implemented a paywall in February 2020 as part of its digital strategy and has since developed audio and video departments, focusing on local news. Recently announcing a subscriber base of 100,000, Mediahuis Ireland CEO Peter Vandermeersch highlighted the achievement's significance amid widespread misinformation. The resilient coverage by its journalists through societal events during the pandemic has fostered reader loyalty. New projects, including podcasts and finance-focused content, further enrich the paper's offerings, demonstrating a commitment to quality journalism and reader engagement in Ireland.
In a world where fake news is omnipresent, it is crucial to be a trusted source. Mediahuis firmly believes in further building the future of journalism in Ireland.
I am extremely happy and proud of this achievement. It shows that our journalism is being valued by readers all over the island of Ireland.
Our subscribers are giving us their trust and their financial support, which is a huge vote of confidence and encourages us to do even more.
Our journalists have been there for all of them, working to ensure our readers get the full picture and the story behind the story.
