Hearst Signs on with Digital Newsstand Magzter:
Magzter, one of a burgeoning sector of digital magazine newsstands, has been courting the North American market, recently signing Maxim and Newsweek. The company just landed another big fish in Hearst, which has put all of its U.S. titles, and some of its international ones, onto the platform. The two-year-old Magzter has offices in India, London, Singapore and New York and has been making its way across Asia and Europe, more recently setting its sights on signing up magazines in the U.S. The service now claims about 7 million app downloads from a collection of 1,500 magazines from 600 publishers.
