We keep an eye out for the most interesting stories about Labby subjects: digital media, startups, the web, journalism, strategy, and more. Here’s some of what we’ve seen lately.
“Like many peer companies, the Star Tribune is looking for the next phase of growth to come from paid digital subscriptions, with an expected revenue increase of 20 percent a year. But unlike many, the Star Tribune is not starting late from a tiny base. Its current digital-only total is roughly 50,000. The company expects digital advertising to keep growing 7.5 percent a year and print circulation revenues to show modest growth, too. Add it all up, and the Star Tribune has shown total revenue growth in a few years like 2014 and small declines in the range of 1-2 percent for the rest.” —
