Meredith Kopit Levien is the CEO of The New York Times, which is perhaps the most famous journalism organization in the world, and certainly one of America's most complicated companies. The Times is 172 years old, and has only recently become a force on the internet. It's hard to remember, but back in 2014 and ‘15, people thought the Times was doomed — that it would be replaced by BuzzFeed and Vice and Vox. Instead, the company has undergone a radical and sometimes painful public transformation, and emerged as something closer to Netflix or Spotify – a subscription business with a huge investment in product and engineering. Meredith has led a lot of that change, and in particular, she's led the charge in turning a Times subscription into much more than paying for news – NYT Cooking and Games are hit apps, and of course she bought Wordle last year in a bit of a coup. We talked about that structure, how Meredith intends to appeal to a broader audience with all those products when the country is basically divided in half politically and one half doesn't care for the Times at all, and about platforms and growth. And like all media organizations, the Times has a complex relationship with Google, so we talked about that, too.

Mark Thompson, New York Times CEO, on leading the company through a digital transformation, investing in content, and changing operations at the 169-year-old newspaper to meet the demands of a 24/7 news cycle.
“I’m always on a mission. It doesn’t mean that the mission is necessarily entirely apparent to me... even now, I’m not quite clear what it is that creates that shape. Although I think there is something about storytelling and really understanding what’s happening in the world. A sense of investigation and trying to get to the bottom of what’s really going on is part of it.” My guest this episode is New York Times CEO, Mark Thompson. Born in London, he grew up in Hertfordshire, UK. After graduating from Oxford University with a First Class Honors in English, he joined the BBC as a Trainee, quickly working his way up through the ranks, launching shows such as ‘Watchdog’ and ‘Breakfast Time’, before various stints as Editor on flagship news shows such as Newsnight, the Nine O’Clock News and Panorama. He became controller for BBC Two and was then appointed Director of Television, before leaving the BBC in 2002 to become CEO of Channel 4. In 2004, he returned to take up the role of Director General at the BBC, during which time he reshaped the organization to meet the challenge of the digital age, with the launch of services such as the BBC iPlayer. On November 12th, 2012, he became President and CEO of the New York Times, making him responsible for leading the company’s strategy, operations and business units. Mark has been instrumental in accelerating the pace of The Times’s digital transformation. Under his leadership, The Times became the first news organization in the world to pass the one million digital-only subscription mark. Having served at the helm of world-class media companies during the course of a career spanning over four decades, I was fascinated to hear more about what purpose and fulfilment mean to Mark. We talked all about: how he navigated the BBC in his early career, and how he eventually came to lead an organisation in which he started as a trainee. We also touched on moving to New York, the challenges he faces as the CEO of the New York Times, as well as his future ambitions.

Blendle, Readly, Apple News Plus – medienübergreifende Angebote galten als Hoffnungsträger für Verlage. Aber die Euphorie ist verflogen. Wir haben bei den großen deutschen Verlagen nachgefragt, wie sie künftig im Netz Geld verdienen wollen und wie sie die Beziehung zu medienübergreifende Plattformen sehen. Kurz gefasst: Sie ist ambivalent. Neben der Perspektive von Spiegel, Zeit, Süddeutsche Zeitung & Co. hat uns auch der Blick der Plattformbetreiber interessiert. Philipp Graf Montgelas erklärt im Interview, wie es zur Zeit bei Readly läuft. Ebenso gibt es Antworten vom Axel Springer Verlag zu iKiosk, Upday und einem möglichen neuen Dienst. Blendle stand für Antworten nicht zur Verfügung. Angebote wie Blendle und Readly werden auch vor dem Hintergrund der immer größer werdenden Paywalls für Nutzer*innen interessant. Aber passen diese noch zur Strategie der Verlage?
