Echo.Online: Digital media (web, app)
Echo of Moscow — one of the most influential Russian radio stations (3 M. DAU), was blocked by state authorities after 30 years of work. Read more in The New Yorker.
The goal was to create a new independent digital media platform for Russian-speaking audiences with varying political views and social statuses. Currently, Echo doesn’t have an FM channel in Russia due to restrictions, so a website and mobile apps need to be developed. Because the website can be blocked quickly, it’s important to also build mobile apps that allow listeners to access broadcasts. Donations will be the main source of monetization.
Please check out the new Echo.online website and mobile apps: iOS, Android.
