North American news media companies of every size and market are facing pressure to transform from print to digital. Doing so successfully requires a pivot in nearly all aspects of your organization.
This series will focus on helping you develop a successful strategy regardless your market and resources through coordination between three core workplace components:
• Newsroom
• Data
• Product
You’ll hear from media leaders who have already navigated these waters about how business managers can:
• Partner with their newsrooms to build and scale a digital subscription business
that adds new subscribers AND converts current print subs.
• Sift through data to find the right signals to track and grow paid subscribers.
• Leverage a digital product team’s mindset and experience to meet readers
where they are at every stage of the conversion funnel.
