RTE News
RTÉ News is Ireland's national public service broadcaster, operating under a dual-funding model consisting of government-provided public funding and commercial revenue. Following a significant governance and financial scandal in 2023, the organization has implemented a new governance framework and a transformation program to restore public trust. In 2024, the broadcaster secured a three-year, €725 million public funding commitment from the Irish government and reported a net surplus, driven by cost-control measures and growth in digital platforms like the RTÉ Player.
