Credibility by association
Investigative publications are perceived as rigorous and independent. An article about your brand placed here borrows from that credibility — the message is read as serious information, not advertising.
The investigative vertical
Authority that transfers to your brand
The investigative press in the EkoPress network numbers 100 sites — investigative and serious journalism publications, with a mature, engaged audience. An advertorial placed here borrows from the publication's credibility and has real reputational impact.

Why investigative
Why position your brand in the investigative press
Where serious journalism is read, your brand is taken seriously.
Editorial authority
Investigative sites have history, a voice, and weight in the public space. Association with them positions the brand as trustworthy and raises its perceived authority — an asset that is hard to buy any other way.
Serious readers, decision-makers
The audience of investigative journalism is mature, informed, and civically engaged — often decision-makers and opinion leaders. It is the right audience for messages with reputational stakes, B2B, or positioning goals.
Lasting reputational impact
An article on an investigative publication stays indexed and citable over time — just like the permanent link. You build reputation and domain authority that keeps working for you long-term.
Transparency, without compromising credibility. Standard articles are labeled "Advertising" as required by law. Readers of investigative publications appreciate transparency — and your message stays credible, indexed, and citable, with a permanent link.

Frequently asked questions about the investigative press
On how many investigative journalism sites can I publish?
On EkoPress you can publish on 100 investigative press sites, through a direct flow with the newsrooms, no middlemen. You filter them in the catalog by DR, language, and price, and each price is shown transparently. The article goes live within 45 minutes of approval, with a permanent link.
Why does the investigative press help brand reputation?
Because investigative publications are perceived as rigorous and independent, with a mature, civically engaged audience. An article placed in this context borrows from the publication’s credibility: the message is read as serious information, not advertising, which raises the brand’s perceived authority and has a lasting reputational impact.
How much does an article on an investigative site cost?
Prices start at 199 lei and go up to 349 lei per article, VAT included, depending on the site and its domain authority. For large campaigns, from 50 articles up, the price drops to 149 lei/article, VAT included. You pay once, and the link stays permanent.
Is the article labeled as advertising?
Standard articles are transparently labeled "Advertising," in line with Romanian advertising law — the label doesn’t reduce the material’s value: readers of investigative publications appreciate transparency. Mini articles and content-creator quota articles don't receive this label; your link stays permanent and monitored either way.
