Pugpig is the digital publishing platform for hundreds of news, consumer, specialist and B2B media brands. We recently published our second annual report, our State of the Digital Publishing Market report, and we’re holding a webinar on Tuesday, March 21, at Noon EST / 11 a.m. CST in partnership with America’s Newspapers to take a deeper look into the report.

In the report, we get a unique view into the behavior of readers on mobile and share never-before-published insights and data from senior leaders from the likes of The Economist, Gannett, Reach, Crain, Future, Conde Nast, Discovery and Foreign Affairs.

There are a few real surprises in there that challenge assumptions many of us may make, alongside many things you’d expect about how the industry is thinking about digital and where readers spend most of their time. We’ll cover all of this in the webinar.

Register for the webinar and join us as we dive into the report. We hope it'll provide invaluable insight as you think about your digital publishing strategy for 2023 and beyond.
