Research Outline

US News App Market

Goals

To compile a list of US based national and local news apps (both mobile and desktop) to understand what companies are currently in the market, how big they are, what there service offering is, how well each is funded, if they have proprietary content or aggregate other publisher content, and any other relevant topics to understand. Another goal of the research is to understand the news app market in general in the US., including how big it is in terms of revenue and audience, and key trends that are helping and hurting its growth.

Early Findings

During our preliminary research we were able to uncover two US based national or local news apps. For each app, we will able to provide their website, type of app (mobile or computer), pricing, HQ location, revenue, number of readers/subscribers, service offerings, funding information, and type of content (proprietary or separate publishers). We then placed these findings into a spreadsheet for easier consumption. Below is an overview of our early findings.
