John Ridding and David Pemsel on Reinventing Old Media for a New Media World | BoF VOICES

The Guardian has stuck to its “open” mantra by asking readers for donations instead of putting up a paywall. They have 800,000 paying members, putting The Guardian on the path to profitability. The Guardian CEO David Pemsel says while this model is working at the moment, they can’t get complacent and assume that this will be recurring reader revenue.

The Guardian's David Pemsel: We can't be complacent

David Pemsel is CEO of The Guardian Media Group. In this in-depth interview, now over two years into the job, he discusses his plan to tackle mounting losses and return to profitability - shedding jobs, abandoning the Berliner presses and moving to tabloid; discusses the success of their initiative to encourage readers to become ‘supporters’, which now raises more revenue than print advertising and keeps the site paywall-free; outlines his plans to grow the Guardian’s global presence and build on their existing base of 10 million regular readers; and reveals why despite the onslaught of ‘fake news’ and his frustration with Google and Facebook’s destructive impact on their digital revenue, he is more optimistic than ever about GMG’s future.
