“Postimees Grupp ended the participation in Gemius Audience research because we found that being the biggest commercial media group in Estonia and benchmarking ourselves against other market players distorted our daily workflow. Distracting our editorial team from their most important work of writing insightful articles. In addition, the study lacked the public participation of a major market player – Estonian National Broadcaster.”
