Different approaches to engaging subscribers in a regional vs. a national news title: Stuttgarter Zeitung and Süddeutsche Zeitung
Paid-model for regional newspapers. Swantje Dake will discuss how they started in 2016 with a metered model, and why they started Freemium/StZ Plus in 2017. She will talk about what they tried, why they failed and how they’ve been succeeding the second time around. She will also discuss the difficulties of being a publisher that is still mostly print focused with few capacities for digital while trying to bring in people with new skills and letting them work together in an integrated team and newsroom. In addition, Dake will describe how they are developing different strategies for Stuttgarter Zeitung and Stuttgarter Nachrichten, which are both produced by one team and newsroom. She will also talk about how they are now increasing their numbers of digital subscribers. Some “best practice” ideas for the newsroom and content topics will be presented as well.
Paid content from the perspective of a national newspaper. Mayer will give a summary of the strategic approach of Germanys leading national newspaper Sueddeutsche Zeitung to win more loyal and paying subscribers. She gives insights of the type of stories readers pay for and talks about learnings how to organise the editorial process.

Driving young readers towards subscription
Moderador
Reaching the next generation: Getting young people engaged in editorial media
An important part of our mission is to promote freedom of speech and press freedom as basic values in our democracy. A key part of this is to contribute to educating young people about editorial media and their role: What are editorial media all about, how do they work, how should you engage with them. In the current media climate where lies, hate and propaganda seem to thrive this is more important than ever. We have had a project since the early 1970s where we have supplied educational resources about media to primary and middle schools. Now we have gone digital in a big way through an app, where we provide access to powerful tools for students and teachers.Ponentes
