U.S. News Completes Transition to Digital Publishing Model

Website now averages more than 9 million monthly unique visitors

 

By U.S. News Staff

Posted: November 5, 2010

 

“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.
