Maher reports, “The free subscriptions offer began to roll out at the end of July, providing high school and university students aged 16 and older free access to its cut-price Espresso app.
“Espresso gives its readers five articles and a podcast a day as well as four long reads a week, and normally costs £7.90 a month or £79 for the year.
“McCave told the Twipe Digital Growth Summit in Brussels last week that young readers are ‘really important for future-proofing our business’ at The Economist, which drew around 60% of its revenue from its 1.2 million subscribers (of whom 697,000 were digital-only) in 2023. Espresso currently has just over 20,000 subscribers.”
