What happens when a media company isn’t owned by investors — but by a single trust with a long-term mission?
In this episode of Insight Shapes News by Kilkaya, host Nils Ove Håland Riise speaks with Kjersti Løken Stavrum, CEO of the Tinius Trust — the sole owner of Schibsted Media, the largest media group in the Nordics.
We explore what changed when Schibsted’s media arm split from its marketplace business, their big bets for the future, and how that opened the door to major moves like their deal with OpenAI.
🎧 Topics we cover:
Why a trust model offers both stability and responsibility in today’s media
The thinking behind separating media from Schibsted’s high-margin marketplace business
The OpenAI agreement — how it came together, what it covers, and what’s next
What changes when journalism gets full strategic focus
Serving Gen Z without compromising on editorial standards
Press freedom, platform power, and the case for building European tech infrastructure
Why independence still depends on one thing: being able to pay your own bills
If you work in media, trust-based governance, AI, digital strategy, or editorial leadership — this episode offers a rare inside look at how one of Europe’s biggest media groups is rethinking the future from the ground up.
