U.S. News Completes Transition to Digital Publishing
Model
Website now averages more than 9 million monthly unique

“Responding to changing habits in the media marketplace,
U.S. News Media Group announced that it will discontinue its subscription-based
monthly print magazine, going to newsstand and targeted-distribution print
publishing while expanding its array of successful digital products.
In 2011, U.S. News will publish eight newsstand print publications
focused on single topics, including its Best Colleges and Best Hospitals
rankings franchises. Subscribers to the monthly print magazine will have the
remainder of their subscriptions filled by other publications.”

Just an FYI. We’ve had titles in the past that we let go
completely because the digital edition proved inaccessible on a system-wide
basis, but it’s interesting that they’ll continue printing special issues.
