It’s been just over a year since red. launched. Since then we’ve rapidly grown a community of almost half a million followers online. With our expanding community, we also get a lot of questions from our followers so we have curated some of those questions that appear most frequently in the comments on our social media platforms, and answer them for you here. This is not a final FAQs – the more additional questions are asked, we will also answer them here in the future.
We hope this gives you a better feel for who we are, where we want to go and that it will give you the confidence to come with us!
How is red. financed?
We rely upon a diversified financial model that enables our work to remain free from corporate interests or political agendas. Currently our financing is based on three pillars: Private donations from organizations and individuals, contributions from our audience and social media advertising revenue. While we aim to increase the revenues coming in from these sources, in the mid-term we also aim to add a fourth pillar and generate income through merchandise and a more extended documentary sales.

Is red. a continuation of the now defunct redfish?
No, they are two different companies. red. is an independent company financed from various sources as explained above.
red. media’s founder, Hüseyin Dogru, and a few other team members who previously worked with redfish, as well as countless freelancers around the world, have joined red. to support its mission of using digital media to highlight critical social and political issues and tell stories that focus on our collective rights.
