About
PressReader's answer to paying for news is that the reader should not. Chief Content Officer Nikolay Malyarov told the TechVancouver stage in September 2017 that the consumer price point should be zero and someone else should offset it — so brands like Bell, Cathay Pacific and Marriott sponsor access, and libraries extend the reading room they always had. The company's focus since has been discovery: a personalised home feed that ranks on how long people actually read, not on shares or likes.

Quick answers
What does PressReader do?
It aggregates full editions of newspapers and magazines from publishers worldwide and delivers them to readers through libraries, hotels, airlines, telecom plans and its own apps.
How does PressReader make money if readers don't pay?
Business partners sponsor access. Malyarov told TechVancouver that Bell lets subscribers add PressReader for $10 CAD a month against a $29.95 US list price, and that hotels and libraries buy access for their own customers.
Where is PressReader based?
Richmond, British Columbia, with offices opened over time in the Philippines, France and Dublin. It started in 1999 delivering printed newspaper copies to hotels.
