Reuters expands digital subscription to Australia, New Zealand

Reuters has expanded its digital subscription strategy for its website and mobile app to Australia and New Zealand.

The subscription plan will be available to users in Australia for A$1.50 and New Zealand for NZ$1.50 a week. There are no introductory offers or surprise price increases.

Earlier this year, Reuters launched digital subscriptions in Europe, the U.S. and Canada.

“Reuters is on the front lines of conflicts, navigating the halls of government, and reporting from inside corporate boardrooms around the world. That is why the world’s news outlets, financial institutions, companies, governments and consumers rely on us to deliver the truth. We take that responsibility very seriously,” said Reuters President Paul Bascobert in a statement.

Reuters has approximately 2,600 journalists and 200 offices around the world.
