Tech Business Magazines Going Overseas

from the new-markets? dept

With so many big name American business and tech magazines shutting down, the ones that are still around are suddenly looking for new market opportunities overseas. They're launching foreign editions in countries where it seems there actually is some technology and business activity. The question is whether or not they're really entering new markets with real potential, or if they're making a desperation play to make up for lost US revenue.

Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.

Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.

While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.

–The Techdirt Team

    Telling audiences what they want to hear

    Magazines are first and foremost a business that tell readers what they want to hear, followed by the truth. I've read foreign editions of magazines that tell completely different stories from the US edition, it's quite scary. Magazines hire local editors and writers to make local editions; only the layout is similar. I gather the CNN shown in Europe is like this too, with different news anchors, different reporters.
