PressReader to become magazine's exclusive digital distributor globally in public libraries, hotels, aviation, marine and healthcare

VANCOUVER, BC, Dec. 1, 2022 /CNW/ - The Economist and PressReader today announce an expansion of their strategic partnership to further broaden the publication's digital distribution and increase group subscriptions.

The two parties' initial partnership was first announced in February 2022, with The Economist joining PressReader's growing catalog of content. As part of the expanded partnership agreement, PressReader will become the exclusive third-party digital replica distributor of The Economist, in the public library, hotel, aviation, marine and healthcare spaces. PressReader will also help drive group subscription adoption across these verticals for the magazine's digital products and content, including economist.com and The Economist and Espresso apps, driving more opportunities for increased readership and additional monetization. By leveraging PressReader's business partner network in these channels, The Economist will be able to expand its reach to millions of readers worldwide.
