Niche Publishing Roundtable

Sign up or log in to save this to your schedule, view media, leave feedback and see who's attending!

Built around the interests of specific communities and targeted advertising, niche magazines are well set up to attract and keep audiences. The segment is characterized by a focus on editorial quality, a thorough
understanding of readers’ needs, extensive use of social media, events and other community-building channels, and (in most cases) more subscription income and less reliance on ad revenue and newsstand sales compared to the larger consumer magazines. Join a panel of publishers as they discuss the distinct qualities, challenges and opportunities in the niche/regional publishing space.
