NEW YORK, Oct. 01, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Barron’s magazine, the world’s premier financial markets publication and a flagship title of Dow Jones Media Group, today launched a new digital design.
The new site focuses the reader on Barron’s unique content and comes with new features aimed at offering readers valuable insight and analysis packaged in a time-saving format.
“On weekdays, our readers are inundated with market news. They trust Barron's to sort the signal from the noise, to put the news in context and explain what it's likely to mean to their future,” said Katherine Bell, Editor In Chief, Barron’s magazine.
“When we designed the new weekday homepage, we thought of it as a useful source of information in and of itself, not just a place to find articles, and we prioritized clarity and brevity. We created the Brief to give readers an immediate read on the mood of the market and the news that's most relevant to their investments, updated throughout the day. When the market's closed on the weekend, we know our readers like to take the time to consider issues more deeply and think about the big picture, so we made the weekend experience a lot more immersive.”
"The new digital edition doubles down on no-nonsense, high-quality analysis without distraction,” said Almar Latour, Publisher of Dow Jones Media Group. “The new Barrons.com provides our engaged user base with what they need to know in order to make well-informed investment decisions. The new Barron's is concise, calm and collected -- packaged in a modern design that honors our rich history. This new design puts our reporting and analysis on center stage, while offering striking new ways for clients to connect with our readers."
Barron’s SVP Daniel Bernard: “We implemented changes based on both reader and customer insights. We’ve boosted optimization offering an array of new and enhanced advertising products, including signature new introductions like the full bleed "wedge" unit, full native article in-flow placement and a product placement solution for funds."
The new Barrons.com offers innovative ways for clients to partner with Barron’s while upholding its storied editorial legacy as the world's premier financial markets publication.
