This is an interview-based article written in Finnish in Markkinointi & Mainonta. The article consists of 5 claims to which Noora Alanne responds to. For example: Väite 1 Mediayhtiöt uudistuvat liian hitaasti Suomessa. ”Muutos voi tuntua hitaalta, koska näkyvä lopputuote muuttuu hitaimmin. Taustalla on pitkä prosessi, joka alkaa työkulttuurin ja systeemien muutoksesta. Järjestelmät ovat muillakin aloilla haaste, jota kovin moni ei pysty ratkaisemaan mediaa nopeammin. Etulyöntiasema on mediayrityksillä, jotka ovat syntyneet digiaikana ja tehneet sisältöjä suoraan verkkoon. Perinteisillä taloilla on historiaa ja eri systeemejä, jotka täytyy sovittaa yhteen ja muokata."
