State of Digital Publishing

In November 2023, The New York Times achieved the 10 million subscriber target they set in the Digital Publishers Innovation Report in 2014 due to staying true to their editorial values of covering national interest, product bundling, and several acquisitions. What lessons can publishers learn along the way? And is The NYT on track to reach the 15-million target by 2027? Jeremy Fremont and Vahe Arabian explore The New York Times, one of the longest-running newspapers and a prolific digital media publisher.

In this special WordPress seven-part teardown series, Jeremy Fremont and Vahe Arabian explore The Harvard Gazette. When Harvard has a $51 billion endowment, one might wonder why Harvard needs to monetize their sites in the first place. The Harvard Gazette doesn’t. Rather, it’s a super-connector of all the microsites and communities that help raise Harvard's profile internally and for alumni abroad. So what are the mechanics behind this? As part of this special WordPress seven-part teardown series, Jeremy Fremont and Vahe Arabian explore The Harvard Gazette – the official news website for Harvard University covering campus life and times, university issues and policies, science, teaching, learning innovations, and broader national and global concerns. It also helps to distribute stories from University affiliates.
