Cosmin Nițu is the founder of PressPay, a platform designed to transform readers’ likes into a sustainable funding mechanism for independent journalism.
By allowing audiences to support publications directly through micro-subscriptions tied to the content they value most, PressPay offers a new way to keep public-interest media alive in an era of financial uncertainty.
Cosmin is also the founder of Quickdata, a design and development studio launched in 2011, where he worked with leading investigative outlets such as RISE Project and OCCRP, including contributing to landmark initiatives like the Panama Papers. His expertise lies at the intersection of information design, technology, and media innovation, with a strong focus on supporting independent journalism.
Through PressPay, Cosmin continues his long-term mission: building tools that empower citizens to sustain free press and strengthen democracy. He sees public-interest journalism not just as a profession, but as a safeguard for society.
