18% of consumers now pay for online news: Now what?
In 2025, paid news reached new heights: 18% of consumers now pay for online news, nearly double a decade ago.
In this end-of-year Subscriptions Town Hall by Readers First Initiative Lead Greg Piechota, INMA will build on this momentum and distil key learnings from its Readers First Initiative into a single town hall — centering on bundling, win-backs, and best practices in the face of traffic disruption.
Greg’s insight comes from 200+ Ask Me Anything sessions and exchanges with INMA members, 50+ company visits, 20+ newsletters, two reports, 10+ Webinars, two workshops, 10+ keynote speeches, data from 240+ news brands benchmarking with INMA, hundreds of Slack posts and interactions, and dozens of interviews with influencers.
Join the town hall for a one-of-a-kind report on the present and the future of customer strategy in the age of AI. It’s been a busy year on the news and subscriptions front. Where did we land the plane for 2025, and what lessons can we port into 2026?
