Reuters Report: Who’s paying for news?
This report uses survey data from 20 countries and qualitative research from the United Kingdom (UK), United States (US), and Germany to explore who is paying for news content online, which publications they pay for, how much they pay, and what motivations they have for subscribing or donating to news.
We focus, in particular, on how the cost-of-living crisis is impacting willingness to pay for online news, through talking to those who have cancelled their subscriptions over the last 12 months as well as those who have maintained subscriptions during this period. We also look at the prospects for attracting new subscribers amid this economic downturn and ask what approaches, if any,
might persuade these reluctant consumers to pay for online news in the future. Finally, we use insights from our research to explore ways in which the publishing industry could adapt current strategies around news payment.
Key findings:
- Across most of the 20 countries we analyse, payment for online news is levelling off, with high levels of cancellation strongly linked to the cost-of-living crisis.
- Low-price introductory offers are effective at attracting new subscribers but many struggle to see the value when it comes to renewal and paying the full sticker price.
- Long-term news subscribers tend to be male, older, richer, and better educated, with a strong interest in news and politics. Younger subscribers tend to pay less and are more likely to make donations than older groups.
- News subscribers are attracted by a combination of distinctive high-quality, curated, and exclusive content, identification with the brand, a desire to support quality journalism, and a higher-quality user experience.
- Around half of non-subscribers say that nothing could persuade them to pay for online news, but others could be attracted by a lower price, more relevant content, or less cluttered (ad-free) websites and apps.
- For some people the value of news subscriptions is partly conditioned by the amount and quality of free content (from both commercial and public service outlets) available in a market, as well as by the price and experience of entertainment services such as TV, sport, and music.

IR in IPOs of early-stage biotech companies: from scientific hypothesis to investor trust
IPO for biotech startups is a test of trust formed by IR: trust in science, in technology, in the team, in the company’s ability to build transparent, sustainable communication with the market.
The right IR strategy turns a high-risk placement into a market success. The combination of IPO and IR is critical for biotech. Investor Relations in biotechnology is a tool for shaping the perception of scientific history.
One of the tasks of IR in the framework of IPO is to translate scientific and technical information into the language of value for the investor.

Sustainable protein innovation can support rural livelihoods, strengthen food systems, and protect the planet. Listen to today’s episode written by Chelsea Montes de Oca at GFI.org
The Good Food Institute is an international nonprofit reimagining meat production in order to make the global food system better for the planet, people, and animals. GFI understands that with “alternative proteins” we can mitigate the environmental impact of our food system, decrease the risk of zoonotic disease, and ultimately feed more people with fewer resources.
