The passing year along with the global pandemic and world wide lockdown forced publishers to take bold steps in running their businesses to stay afloat. Those were mainly the radical acceleration of the shift from print to the digital distribution of all types of publications and redirecting the monetization activities from advertisements to the subscription model. Both of these transformations seem to be strong foundations for the further industry\u2019s development in 2021 \u2013 the more so as the future of digital publishing looks bright.<\/h2>\n

We cannot deny that 2020 has been a challenging time for many different brands. The good news is that it\u2019s coming to an end.

Publishing industry started long-term changes in 2020<\/h2>\n

When we wrote an article about trends for publishers for 2020<\/a> over a year ago, it never crossed our minds that the future will be so… unique<\/em>. Well, the world turned upside down. For many industries it was a challenging time, which in many cases resulted in accelerating business decisions and, in consequence, introducing great innovative solutions. It was especially noticed in the publishing industry, where Covid-19 made publishers speed up their expansion and plans implementation, shortening development strategies timeline from years into months or weeks.<\/p>\n

The worldwide pandemic and lockdown situation made the readers want to have access to reliable sources of information without leaving home. It was the driving force to moving from print to digital and the reason why interest in news and local information exploded.<\/strong><\/p>\n

For publishers it was a great time to jump into the digital space. The Covid-19 situation highlighted its advantages, such as cost-effectiveness due to reducing fixed payments for physical distribution. All these changes are significant, but they are just the beginning. They make us look to the future with a smile, the more so as 2021 is bound to bring a lot of good.<\/p>\n

Good news and growing trends for publishers for 2021<\/h2>\n

There are at least a few reasons to be optimistic about 2021. The technological giants will direct their actions towards publishers, which is a sign that they noticed the value and strength of the news info, with a bow down to mobile distribution. Meanwhile, publishers will focus on maintaining their quality, deepening engagement with readers and continuing to do what has been starting to work well for them this year.<\/p>\n
