- Next Issue Media has launched its magazine service on the iPad, bringing 39 titles to the device for a monthly subscription fee of $14.99. Consumers also have the option to purchase individual issues and subscribe to individual titles.
- Next Issue is a joint venture from publishers Conde Nast, Hearst, Meredith, News Corp. and Time Inc.
- “It’s not a perfect analogy, but the easiest way to explain the app is, yes, as Netflix for magazines,” suggests TechCrunch.
- The app recently added Bon Appétit, Brides, Golf Digest, GQ, Self, Vogue and Wired to its offerings, which already includes titles such as The New Yorker and TIME.
- Next Issue CEO Morgan Guenther aims to double the offerings by the end of the year. He notes that all titles will be “premium, high readership titles.”
- “Guenther’s other plans include adding search, personalization, and social features, as well as expanding to other platforms” reports TechCrunch.
