NEWS CONTENT DISTRIBUTION SYSTEMS

The brief description of project for the investors and the partners

Introduction. The market.

Traditional media publishers continue to face a difficult financial outlook due to dwindling readership and advertising revenues. At the same time, new technologies and social media are having a major impact on consumer behavior. Increasingly, users expect to be able to access content anytime, anywhere, on devices of their choosing. As with other types of digital content such as music and games, members of Gen Y (ages 18-34) exhibit an early-adopter profile when it comes to the number of advanced consumer electronics they use for reading publications. While tablets, smartphones, and eReaders open new distribution channels, publishers face challenges in maintaining and monetizing customer relationships that have been fragmented by countless platforms, devices, and services.

MANY PEOPLE SHOW WILLINGNESS TO PAY FOR DIGITAL MAGAZINE AND NEWSPAPER CONTENT, BUT MOST HAVE NOT YET STARTED DOING SO.

Years of ad-supported free websites and discounted subscriptions have accustomed consumers to pay little or nothing for digital content. In a competitive media landscape, publishers need to innovate like never before to reach prospects and supplement advertising revenue with user payments. With few bona fide successes to look to for guidance, publishers must explore a variety of monetization strategies to find combinations that resonate with target audiences. Magazines and newspapers that gain a deep understanding of target audiences through qualitative and quantitative research will stand a better chance than most of crafting differentiated content, solutions, and services that consumers value with both their time and their money.

While nearly half of US adults now read at least some digital magazine and newspaper content, print remains the dominant format. Almost 8 in 10 US adults have read print newspapers or magazines in the past month. Of those who read print publications, 33% spend 3 hours or more per week doing so. Unsurprisingly, older adults (55+) tend to be the heaviest consumers.

The phenomenal popularity of smartphones, iPads, and eReaders has led to a rapid rise in media applications and, subsequently, to an increase in reading across multiple devices. As with other types of digital content such as music and games, members of Gen Y (ages 18-34) exhibit an early-adopter profile when it comes to the number of advanced consumer electronics they use for reading publications. They are more than twice as likely as the general population to consume newspaper and magazine content on smartphones, tablets, and eReaders.

With Apple and Google both announcing subscription payment services, there has been a renewed interest in monetizing digital content using a subscription model. Providing a layer of free access can eventually entice readers into subscribing to paid services. The key is to accommodate different audience segments with quality content they get any kind of advertisement free. This monetization model is the basis for the Greatiful.com

For the last decade, publishers have intensely debated whether or not consumers will pay directly for newspaper and magazine content. While most consumers have yet to make a purchase, many show willingness to pay for access of some type – whether by the article, through all access plans, or for ancillary services. With few bona fide succes-ses to look to for guidance, publi-shers must explore a variety of monetization strategies to find those that resonate best with target audiences and then refine them iteratively. Using monetization strategies in tandem can offer custo-mers more choice. The most demanded monetization model is the “Free mium/tiered subscriptions” project.

To reach these early technology adopters (and their even more connected younger siblings) publishers must go beyond simply offering multi-platform access to fully exploit the capa-bilities of small screen devices and bring new experiences to readers.
