"China is a good indicator for digital trends to come in West because of the different user behaviour and advanced mobile platform environment." - Fabian von Heimburg

Let's consider FT's quality value based on truth, transparency, and trust...

The MediaBriefing recently wrote an article discussing the Financial Times' approach to quality for their sustainable future. Their focus points surround the 'triple t threat' - truth, transparency, and trust. In an era when digital revenue is hard to come by, publishers are trying all sorts of tricks and trends. One can only marvel at those publishers who are strides ahead of the rest. Let's have a look at some of The Financial Times staggering impressions:

Reuters Institute of the Study of Journalism released a report on how publishers are going 'beyond the article' using digitally innovative tools.

Here are some key publishing lessons from the report, written by The MediaBriefing.

• Size need not be a drawback to innovation

A highlight from the report  used as one of the lessons for publishers is that “limited resource is no hindrance to innovation.” Turkey’s 140journos, with its small team of 10 full-time employees, have used platforms like WhatsApp, Twitter Facebook, and even Tinder, to spread their content to digital spaces. This strategic distribution has allowed the smaller citizen journalism project to grow rapidly.

Subscriptions are on the up across the industry with many publishers seeing a huge improvement in numbers compared to last year figures.

Newspapers such as The Times and The Spectator have seen subscriptions rise 200 percent and 100 percent over the past 12 months respectively, according to Digiday.
