In this week’s episode of The Publisher Podcast, we hear from Emma O’Brian, SVP Strategy for Dow Jones. Everyone knows Dow Jones – or at least a few parts of its portfolio, even if they don’t know it as part of the greater organisation. But as the company moves from a portfolio-based business to a vertical-oriented publishing and information one, how is that impacting its back room strategy, and how it seeks new acquisitions?

Podcasts and newsletters share the same low cost of entry; all it takes is a phone or a computer and you’re in the game. But that’s just the beginning. Both formats offer publishers clear, ongoing, opportunities in audience expansion and engagement, content distribution and monetisation. And that’s why we are running a combined Publisher Podcast and Newsletter Summit. Synergy is not a Media Voices word – it’s on all our buzzword bingo cards.

In this bonus episode of Media Voices, we hear from Nicholas Thompson, CEO at The Atlantic. We first had Nicholas as a guest on the podcast back in 2019 when he was WIRED’s Editor in Chief, about what he’d learned a year after introducing a paywall to the brand. Nicholas has since been credited with being a driving force behind The Atlantic’s recent return to profitability and subscriber strategy success.
