According to a recent announcement from the American Press Institute, four news organizations will participate in its inaugural Beyond Print cohort, which “will help guide publishers away from print-centric revenue models toward a sustainable digital future.”

Here are the main takeaways:

The following news organizations will participate in the program: 

Participants will test new ideas to create and expand sustainable digital models tailored for their organization and audiences.

They will also develop strategies to increase print readers’ use of digital products, and adjust their print operations to align with their print revenues.

The Lenfest Institute, a key design and program partner, will publish lessons and best practices from Beyond Print to help share resources with other news organizations working to create digital-first revenue streams.

“We see this move beyond print as the next crucial and urgent shift for local newspaper survival. This shift, and the creation of products these news organizations can provide for their customers, will better help them serve their diverse communities,” said Emily Ristow, director of local news transformation at API.


Our Hometown’s Digital Initiative program has similar goals, and by partnering with state press associations, aims to help all newspapers across the country establish a web presence with a modern, mobile-friendly website that will help them attract new audiences and new revenue opportunities.
