At Maritime Review Africa we understand the importance of coffee and would never ask anyone to risk disrupting their capacity to access good quality coffee. That’s why we will never suggest that you allocate any of your coffee money towards supporting our continued commitment to provide crucial coverage of the maritime sector.
Don’t get us wrong – we were sorely tempted to follow the lead of numerous media platforms urging their readers to forgo a cup of coffee and donate said amount to strengthen press sustainability.
But no, we will not ask for your coffee money. In fact, we won’t ask for your wine money either – or any amount that secures you your small pleasure or comfort to survive the work week and enjoy a well-deserved weekend.
But while you are here, we would like to nudge you to consider a more practical form of support. Maritime Review provides a comfortable fit for your company news, event listings, announcements and brand awareness activities.
Sure, you can broadcast them to your social media followers, but being included within a structured maritime news platform such as ours positions your company as a competitive stakeholder within the broader national and regional maritime context. It gives weight to your information and integrates it within the wider maritime conversation.
There is so much happening in the maritime space right now and we aim to be able to continue to provide free access to as much of this as possible. But, as much as we would love to accept every invitation that pops up and support every company’s amazing new announcement – this requires resources, time, as well as media tools and infrastructure that come with a cost.
And, while we understand the media’s own little pity-party about declining revenues and challenges may seem irrelevant to you, we should all be eager to see stronger and more robust media platforms resourced with journalists capable of engaging both sides of a story or investigating issues of importance..
