How the WSJ goes beyond ads and subscriptions
Manage episode 486658889 series 3288061
The Wall Street Journal has many advantages at a perilous time for news publishers. It has a massive paid subscriber base (4.3 million across print and digital). It caters to an affluent audience. It has a storied brand. While AI is threatening to overwhelm swathes of the industry, the Journal has benefited from advertising from flush AI companies. Yet it isn’t immune to the pressures facing publishing overall and news in particular.
WSJ CRO Josh Stinchcomb joined the show to discuss how the Journal is using the trust its journalism engenders to make money in new ways that aren't related to either ads or subscriptions, including events, executive communities and as a brand halo for Dow Jones information products.
