Publisher Programs and Services

Turnkey publisher programs for newspapers, magazines and web sites

Newsworthy's turnkey audio publishing programs let you create new revenue streams and extend your brand by converting print or web-based stories to full-length audio programs. Newsworthy offers a variety of publisher programs that open up new content consumption channels, attract new audiences and extend your audience reach. Choose from:

Click-2-Listen

Newsworthy’s Click-2-Listen service makes listening to a story as easy as printing it. Newsworthy automatically and continuously converts your content to audio, letting users listen directly from your site, download your content to their iPod, computer, or mp3 player, and subscribe to podcasts of your content.

You generate new audio and web-based advertising revenue – adding audio ads to your content increases your profitability. Your advertisers have a new way to reach their audience, even when they don’t have web access.

Click-2-Listen is easy to implement. You set up an automated feed (typically FTP) and send all your stories to Newsworthy as they are published. Newsworthy automatically converts all the stories received via this “Publisher Feed” to high quality audio. We then send the audio versions back to you.

You then place a new “Listen to this story” icon at the top of each story.

When one of your customers clicks on the “Listen to this story” icon, a Newsworthy web-based player launches. This player is branded with your logo, displays one or more publisher-supplied graphic ads, and plays an audio ad, followed by the audio version of the story.

The user may also download the audio file to their PC or iPod. Newsworthy attaches your ads to the audio version of the story as it is downloaded. Newsworthy and the Publisher share the ad revenue.

Our first publisher to implement Click-2-Listen was Government Computer News. Follow this link and click on one of the sample stories to get a sense of this exciting new service.

Content Licensing and Co-Marketing Program

Convert your existing content to audio, open up new distribution channels, and realize new revenue streams with the Newsworthy Content Licensing and Co-Marketing program.

Newsworthy licenses a Publisher’s content, converts it to very high quality audio and makes it available to NewsworthyAudio Personal Audio Newspaper subscribers. The publisher co-markets the NewsworthyAudio Personal Audio Newspaper Service on their web-site. Newsworthy shares in the subscription revenue from any Publisher website users that link to NewsworthyAudio and become subscribers.

The NewsworthyAudio Personal Audio Newspaper opens up new distribution channels for the Publisher, extends their brand, and provides a new subscription revenue stream using the Publishers current content.
