How the B-Side delivers daily, hyperlocal news from Boston Globe Media
Register hereInnovate Local presents the third case of its focus topic “Young Audiences”. Our guest is Emily Schario, Director of Multimedia Storytelling & Head of Content, The B-Side, at The Boston Globe.
“It’s like we make a milkshake and throw in some spinach,” says Emily Schario, director of multimedia storytelling and head of content for The B-Side, a daily newsletter serving young Bostonians a mixture of local news and things to do, all packaged from the perspective of their “informed friend.” With nearly 50,000 subscribers and an open rate of 60%, the newsletters was launched in 2022 as a way for The Boston Globe and Boston.com to engage with new, often younger, audiences. Recently, B-Side added a paid membership option for their “daily dose of local news you actually want to hear.” Schario joins us to talk about the strategy and execution behind B-Side’s success story. The webinar starts on March 26 at 15:00 CET.
