Focus on Best Practices During Uncertain Times

There’s little doubt that the COVID-19 pandemic has changed the digital publishing landscape. Supply chain disruptions and reduced ad spending are forcing publishers to take a hard look at their short and long-term digital strategies. As the industry navigates these uncharted waters, we understand the needs of our publishers are drastically different than they were just weeks ago. 

Our staff has been working tirelessly to ensure these new expectations are met, and it is our hope that seeing the efforts of our publishers, as well as those across the industry, will help guide others in getting the most from their digital editions.
