PressReader was originally NewspaperDirect (founded in 1999) which sought to give travelers access to their hometown newspaper, by allowing copies of current issues to be printed anywhere in the world.

In 2003, NewspaperDirect launched its all-you-can-read service, PressReader. Though PressReader was early to the market (smartphones and tablets weren’t yet a thing, and very few people were aggregating media at that point), it soon became clear that the idea was a good one. NewspaperDirect rebranded as PressReader in 2014. Since then, PressReader has grown rapidly, from just 100K MAUs to more than 12M MAUs today — and accelerating quickly.

PressReader’s proprietary technology makes it possible to process thousands of newspapers every single day, extracting text and images and making articles instantly translatable, searchable, and easy to read on mobile devices. No one else has managed to pull this off. Today, PressReader’s all-you-can-read service is popular with individual subscribers and business partners alike. And as we like to say at PressReader, it’s just the beginning.

Vision :

• We see a sustainable future for publishers and creators of quality content.
• We see a community of people who want to find stories that inform, move, and inspire.
• We see new ways for brands to build meaningful relationships with real people.

Premium : Invest in quality

Imagine offering your customers global news from the world’s most reputable journalists and sources, and editorial from titles you know and trust. From The Washington Post, The Guardian, and The Globe and Mail, to Forbes, Vogue, Bloomberg Businessweek, and GQ.

Few products on the market do what we do. When they try, they serve up newspaper PDFs you have to pinch to fit on your screen. Or they just link to website pages and offer up incomplete story snippets.

No other app can match our offering in either quality or quantity. Whether your guests choose to read in the replica view they’re used to or in a text view that makes mobile reading easy, they get the best digital reading experience possible.

Global : It’s a small world after all

People travel more than ever. Your customers want a truly global perspective that can keep up with the way they’re living. PressReader has the largest selection of newspapers and magazines from over 120 countries in over 60 languages. That’s 7,000 trusted publications on a single platform. And readers can instantly translate articles in up to 21 languages.

Put simply, the PressReader experience is one-of-a-kind.

Mobile : Brilliant and beautiful

We’re focused first and foremost on what users want. We’ve built an interface that’s responsive, intuitive, and easy for mobile readers. Every one of our features is designed to help users get to the stories they love, or discover new titles they can dig into.
