American Banker to stop print daily edition

The 180-year-old American Banker will no longer print a daily edition in 2016 and will put all of its content online, according to an announcement on its website.

Editor in chief Marc Hochstein writes, “Completing a progression that’s been underway for several years, beginning in January 2016, American Banker will no longer deliver hard copies of its daily edition. In doing so, we join our readers in transitioning to an increasingly digital business environment. At the same time — again reflecting our audience’s standards and interests — we’ll be producing more and better content than before.

“In 2016, we’ll introduce a new digital publishing platform, moving our content — and its consumers — to a new user experience and content management system, one that enables better discovery of relevant content, improves information-sharing for you with your colleagues, and ensures the professional end-user gets the right content in the right format at the right time. (More on that in future updates.)

“We’ll increase the frequency of American Banker Magazine to 12 issues a year and update its design, building in an expanded technology section. We’ll introduce a new, more useful version of our daily PDF edition. And we’ll develop new research reports that leverage our staff’s unique subject matter expertise in combination with the resources of SourceMedia Research.”
