Ethical Profile

Mixed.

Mediaco Holding Inc. (MDIA.US) presents a mixed ethical profile. Critics point to executive compensation, with CEO Brian Kei MASHINI receiving $1,207,788, while comprehensive data on median employee pay and living wages is not disclosed. The company has also faced scrutiny for delinquent Section 16(a) reports filed by executives. While an Auditor Independence Policy, effective March 25, 2020, is in place, audit-related fees significantly increased from $118,000 in 2023 to $947,968 in 2024, suggesting potential complexities in financial reporting. Information on other ethical areas like environmental impact or fair trade is largely unavailable.
