Abigail Edge of Journalism.co.uk writes about how Quartz, the business news site from The Atlantic, is aiming to increase its international readership.

“‘The thing which is really interesting about the UK is that around 90 per cent of our readers in the UK are classified as executives,’ said Delaney, ‘compared to more than 60 per cent of our readers globally.’
