Simplicity

Small Local Media Outlets

Helping small, local media break through

Simplicity helps small media outlets find and secure projects, manage subgrants, and streamline their operations.

Our support covers business development, tech support, and organizational solutions.

Small media, big obstacles

You can’t evade them.

As a small media outlet, you probably struggle to access large grants and funding, often getting lost in complex donor processes.

It’s tough to identify the right projects, while managing limited resources, and building efficient organizational structures.

Without business and technical expertise or streamlined operations, against strong pressure in the media landscape, long-term sustainability remains out of reach.

Južne vesti

Always working in the public interest

To tackle the challenge of centralization in Serbia, and to promote democracy and human rights, through Južne vesti we work especially with smaller and local media, helping them:

  • Get grants and go through regranting
  • Negotiate better projects and become part of bigger ones
  • Build stable organizational culture

The outlet Južne Vesti is one of the biggest outlets in Serbia and as such, serves as an umbrella organization for smaller and local media.

JRS – Joint Revenue Stream platform

One POC for agencies, advertisers, donors and future partnerships.

Our 15-year long collaboration with various media resulted in a network of local media partners with shared advertising space within the industry standards, providing advertisers with a single POC for sales, reporting and tech related inquiries.

Aside from advertisers, the network is accessing additional partnerships and donor programs not available to smaller medias before.

The goal was to create two-way communication for collaboration, information sharing, and addressing shared business development needs among the portals.
