8. Three segments of Globe digital readers
Print-engaged favor a format and editorial
approach that resembles a newspaper, even
though they are eager users of new technology,
more willing to pay for Globe content (18%)
Online/ Online/mobile-engaged prefer a wider “news
mobile- surveillance” activity that draws them to search
engaged engines, email links, and other digitally-directed
modes of discovery, could be attracted at a lower
Casual weekly price point
Casual readers prefer to engage Globe content –
Print- some print and some web, but both less
engaged frequently, some willingness to pay

but a few of the intangibles we negotiate when we

incredibly adept at doing so.
But the landscape is shifting, perhaps more quickly
than we might like.”

concentrates traffic to a single URL
• Google has officially acknowledged Responsive Design as the
It is
best practice for Search Engine Optimization
• Accommodating advertising focused sites will be the next major
hurdle
• Experimentation with “responsive ads”

15. The Next frontier – “Responsive Content”
• Data is supporting different content order for different devices
• Content can and should respond to user’s screen size, location
and context of usage.
