Next Issue Media, from Big 5, Enters Next Phase

Next Issue Media Enters Next Phase of On-Demand Model:
Next Issue Media, supported by a joint venture between five of the biggest domestic publishers, is set enter its next phase of growth as it plans a formal marketing push into the holiday season. Internal metrics released by the company recently show it's attracting a significant number of new readers to the consortium's brands. And in the next few weeks, NIM will be adding  another round of titles to its catalog, this time from outside the consortium. But don't expect the number of available titles to grow too quickly. While Next Issue Media continues along the path of a premium-priced, on-demand model for magazines, it's doing so for only a small slice of the industry.
