The trade union of the Norwegian media group Schibsted has issued a statement in which it opposes the group’s planned selling of Eesti Meedia. The union considers it regrettable that Schibsted has decided to leave the region, adding that the business model of Schibsted was balanced between its media business and web-based trading portals. Instead of pulling out, Schibsted should invest in the Baltic market and focus on transforming media companies and developing digital media of its newspapers, especially in quality press.
