Globally, subscription growth for news organizations has turned sideways, according to the Reuters Institute’s latest Digital News Report published on Wednesday. Across 20 countries, the average proportion of the roughly 40,000 survey respondents paying for digital news subscriptions has remained at 17% for the second year in a row.
This raises “questions about whether we may have, for now, reached the peak of the subscription trend, at least for current subscription offers,” reads the report.
