Col Jaeski: “the system of financing our media should be revised”

The Lithuania Tribune spoke with Col Aivar Jaeski, Deputy Director at STRATCOM. A paper produced earlier this year by Denmark, Estonia, Lithuania and the UK states that one of the focus area: a credible alternatives should be provided to audiences who rely on Russia's state ­controlled media. The capacity of existing credible Russian media outlets should be strengthened. What about strengthening capacity of the Latvian, Estonian, Lithuanian media outlets? Should they continue drifting in the ocean of the free market, knowing that Russia is extremely efficient in exploiting the liberal and free market conditions to its own benefit, we asked Col Jaeski.
