The Analyst's Read

The bottom line on Postmedia Network

Bottom line

Postmedia is a legacy media publisher successfully porting its regional newspaper footprint into a mobile-first digital ecosystem. Their reliance on ePaper replicas as a primary revenue driver suggests a focus on retaining existing print subscribers rather than aggressive acquisition of new, non-traditional news consumers.
