So you want to charge your readers but don't know where to start or are overwhelmed by all of the different models out there? This dynamic Q&A session features four experts who work on an array of membership models and are ready to answer your own questions. You will walk away with best practices and ideas to apply to your newsroom including:

  • what to consider in the pivot to a paid model.

Who is this session designed for?

  • Senior editorial staff looking to shape content strategy and workflows that underpin subscriber or member growth.
  • Product leaders who want to develop or optimise a paid proposition across platforms.
