Publishing Executive has released a research report on how publishers are managing the challenges of distributed content (content hosted and consumed partially or in full on external platforms, such as Facebook, LinkedIn, Google AMP, or Medium). The report is based on a survey of Publishing Executive’s audience of senior-level executives in the media and publishing industry on how they’re sizing up and managing the threats and opportunities associated with distributed content.
