You may recall that Newspack, a “custom news vertical on WordPress.com dedicated to addressing the needs of digital news sites,” was announced in February. This week they announced 12 initial publishers to help shape the new platform. 📰
After the pilot, newsrooms will re-launch with Newspack this fall, and up to 50 more will come on board in a second phase. By 2020, “the Newspack service will be available commercially from WordPress.com with an expected cost starting at $1,000 a month.”
