| Abstract: | This paper presents a media competition model with free entry when media platforms financing is done from both advertising receipts and customers' subscriptions. We create a relationship between the equilibrium levels of prices, advertising and entry, the welfare maximizing levels and the advertising technology. Under constant or increasing returns to scale in the audience size, an excessive level of entry and an insufficient level of advertising is found. The analysis is then extended along several dimensions: the price as a strategic variable on the advertising market, free media platforms and the media quality dimension. |
