What did Z sell for ??? Is the BIG question
HITM
I thought this was *Interesting
Zs- Edit Once, Distribute Everywhere’ technology solves the logistical challenges of a complex digital ecosystem, unlocking new revenue and subscription opportunities for publishers.
***The company has partnered with top magazine publishers to convert print magazine issues into custom templates for the optimal presentation of magazine content, including for the recently unveiled Apple News+ service.***
Isn’t AN+ doing their own Publisher Partnering & Mag/Content Converting ???

Yup why bother mentioning Z... I’d like to find out what Z sold for recently.
I heard on the radio today someone put $10 in a high school graduation card... they were cracking up !!!...
Maybe I shouldn’t RSVP to any this year... I was gonna put IOUs inside ...
Pixelmags + an Alt
Who did the resuscitation... Pam from Baywatch ??? Send her my way !!!
The HOFF needs a Burger !!!
Pixelmags + an Alternative!!!
Not too much to Looker at today... except Today's hearing, which begins at 2 p.m. ET... it will focus on Silicon Valley's impact on the news industry, including how Google and Facebook's dominance of online advertising affects publishers...
interesting...
Witnesses from media groups will testify on how Google and Facebook squeeze revenue from publishers, while at least one tech advocate will tout the platforms' distribution power as an overall benefit...
The subcommittee chairs will also tout their new proposal to allow publishers to collectively bargain with the tech giants for more revenue. There will also be the usual heavy dose of congressional bluster...
Fun times all around us !!!
Pixelmags + an Alternative!!!
Ahhh yes... remember the good old days when Pixelmags was Transparent... the Pre NK Days... the Pre 2018 Days... how sweet it was... the Online Videos... the PRs... the Interviews... the Addresses... the Employees... the $$$Revs$$$... the Patent$... the Publicity...
What ever happened to our Online-Footprint... when did that get unplugged ???... I forget... still in business ???...but no place to be found... I guess
Remember back in the day when the 27-person (and growing) company charged publishers that upfront fee of less than $1,000... and then a monthly fee between $175 and $600... and the $9.99 split - 30/30/40
Apple / Pixelmags / Publisher...
Such Transparency...
Somebody today is even doing a 50/50 split... man that’s Crazy !!!
Such Transparency tho...
So many good times back in the day...
And Don’t forget... back in the day Publishers’ compensation was based on time spent with their content, which PixelMags measured down to the second... sooooo Interesting... soooo Crazy !!!... even today that’s Crazy !!!
Where did all the fun times go...???
I almost forgot about Readr/Anytime Sub... what a waste Android 2018 was ... especially since then...
Hush/Hush/Hush...
how sweet it was...
Anybody care to take a shot at **What our address is NOW ???
Where do we call home because there’s no place like it... if we’re still an alternative...
Sold goes Texture...
Sold goes Zinio...
Pixelmags +... still an Alternative!!!
Two giant companies — Alphabet, which is Google’s parent, and Facebook — are major distributors for news publishers. The two of them ferry more than 80% of external traffic to various sites. That is a far cry from the analog days, when media barons controlled how their publications reached the public and collected all the ad income they generated.
Sound like it again... Publishers are tiring from it ... the to Giants (G/F) !!!
What gonna be behind the curtain ???
Pixelmags +
Google made at least $4.7 billion off news publishers last year, almost the equivalent of what the entire news industry brought in via digital advertising, according to a News Media Alliance study.
• The ratio — $5.1 billion for all publishers vs. $4.7 billion for Google — highlights how major online distributors milk revenue off the news industry while the publishers who produce the news fight for table scraps.
Pixelmags +
I’m curious to know what Z sold for...
If we weren’t an Alternative... it wouldn’t have been mentioned... could be the step in the right direction we need !!!
Still Impatiently Waiting but with a Pulse !!!
Pixelmags +
Think about it... out of the Blue NK posts an Article Related to Texture Shutting Down... and the Android customers need an Alternative to AN+... the Article is 2 months old !!!
( did he get a Green Light ???)
WHY ???
And the other is Related to an Undisclosed $amount$ paid for Zinio... by a software company... 2 days old !!!... “interesting”
“We are one alternative”... to me says more than that !!!
NK has a Pulse and so does Pixelmags +
Steigrad or Kelly... who’s gonna get the BIG Story ???
Pixelmags +
Interesting...Yes we have a Pulse !!!
IMO there will be some Crossover... eventually... Deep Pockets didn’t get that way Accidentally!!!... there are approx 4b users between the 2 !!!
We are one alternative!!!...
Pixelmags +
Nice !!!... NK lives !!!
SwG/GNI ... AN+... somebody has to pull the Curtain... Undisclosed numbers... again !!!

“As expected, digital magazine service Texture has shut down following the launch of Apple News+.”
https://9to5mac.com/2019/05/29/texture-officially-shuts-down-apple-pushing-users-towards-apple-news/
What will DPAE and Tim Apple do or announce next...???
Pixelmags +
With all the AN+ publicity... who is/could step up and offer the ***Non-Apple Customers something???...
I’m surprised someone isn’t Capitalizing or Piggybacking AN+ with an Android version... making themselves ***Known !!!
I mean isn’t the reach about 1.4-2b for each ???... now that’s a Lot of potential Paper !!!
I wish Readr/AnytimeSub had an Android version... ohhh snap !!!
Isn’t there crossover with non-Apple platforms already ???

What’s NK Waiting for ???
Pixelmags +
Speaking of ***More Paper...$$$
Doesn’t this Friday’s Paper have some $$$Dollar-signs$$$...
Note it !!!
Pixelmags +
Speaking of Paper...$$$
“Apple News+ monetization offers publishers a payout based on the proportionate share of user engagement, which may also shine light on the "minimum" that Apple is paying the publishers.”
Someone has this Patent listed on his LinkedIn Page... if I remember correctly...
$485m
$$$ Paper Baby !!!

We can expect more Texture News this week... sure would be nice to hear something about Pixelmags!!!
***Texture app shutting down on May 28 in wake of Apple News+ launch.
“While the closure of Texture will mean many users on Apple devices will simply move over to Apple News+, not all users will be affected the same way. Subscribers with Android devices will have to find an alternative service as Apple News+ is not available on that platform at this time.”
***at this time ??? Hmmmm...
***May 21, 2019
Apple News+ offering exclusive covers, innovative storytelling from hundreds of publishers.
*** Hundreds of Publishers...??? Hmmm...
Seems like they would be offering more than 300 Magazines/Newspapers if there were “Hundreds of Publishers” in AN+...
“We’ve heard a lot of great feedback from the hundreds of publishers available in Apple News+. The latest updates to Apple News+ aim to best showcase their incredible journalism and put the most trusted news sources at readers’ fingertips,” said Eddy Cue, Apple’s senior vice president of Internet Software and Services.”
DPAE Baby !!!
AN+ is only available in the US & Canada... until later this year !!!
AN+ paid $485m for Texture...
Will AN+ pay again ???...
Pixelmags+
