Up to fifty college publishers will be able to use a platform e-commerce that allows them to collect donations and subscription revenues through collaboration between the press +, a service of e-commerce group RR Donnelley Custom Point Solutions, and John S. and James L. . . Knight Foundation.
Knight Foundation will cover the installation costs up to 50 next College publications to enter the + press, allowing them to install a "counter" on their websites through which they can pick up contributions and / or subscription fee of readers who want to show their support.
Press +, an affiliate appendage of the NFA, is a payment platform that allows publishers to collect new digital revenue for our online readers. Press + measured approach is used by local newspaper publisher*, national and worldwide magazines and online news sites only. It has expanded its technology to publications of the College, offering students a sustainable way to aim parents, alumni, and extra readers engaged for donations or subscriptions. Several newspapers colleges, for example, are soliciting donations online using the press + service only to solicit donations or subscriptions of people accessing websites outside the college community.
"Newspapers College in the digital age need no longer behind that industry news is made," said Eric Newton, Senior Advisor to the President, John S. and James L. Knight Foundation. “Keeping up with the latest software - and even find ways to invent some of their own - are things the best schools of journalism and communications from the College now aspire.”
Last year, Knight has worked with the press + to help beneficiaries of the foundation nonprofit new platforms launch counter on their websites.
"Journalism students run the school newspaper hoping to have a career in journalism are very aware that the traditional model is broken - advertising is just not paying as much editorial costs than in the past, especially for newspapers and magazines, "Press + co-founder Gordon Crovitz said. "This generation needs to find new sources of income, including new ways to raise revenue from readers who receive the most value of access."
