THE FUTURE OF DIGITAL MAGAZINES
Some successes suggest they do, but disparate platforms and pricing models make that future challenging
The list of publications that have gone digital is big and growing. Most popular magazines are available in digital form — as individual issues or a subscription — for the device of your choice. But are publishers actually succeeding in the digital world? Milestones have been passed. Hearst publication Cosmopolitan hit 100,000 paid subscribers in March 2012, with paid subscribers for all Hearst digital magazines surpassing 500,000.
The Daily, a Rupert Murdoch (News Corp., NASDAQ:NWS) tablet-only “newspaper” has hit 100,000 subscriptions at $39.99 a year, but according to The Guardian, that’s a fifth of the number of subscribers Murdoch originally expected to see, and at this rate profitability is likely five to seven years away. Conde Nast hit the 500,000 digital subscription mark (split among eight publications) in October 2011.
