Mesele Ekonomi (in English: Economy is the issue) is a YouTube channel launched in 2018 by two professionals with backgrounds in finance and economic journalism.
Amid the significant economic downturn Turkey has faced in recent years, the channel built a solid audience featuring expert opinions focused on political economy. The founders emphasise that Mesele Ekonomi is the only organisation in the country offering economic analysis with a political context an independent mindset.
In recent months, and to respond to the high demand from its audience, the organisation has added breaking news and live coverage of events to the YouTube channel. The founders preferred using YouTube to build a sustainable business model and to receive revenue from advertising and sponsorship. Additionally, LinkedIn is another crucial platform for the organisation to connect with potential advertisers.
The channel's community reached over 70,000 subscribers in 2021, while paid memberships also increased. Mesele Ekonomi plans to diversify its revenue sources to lower the percentage of grants in the long term.
