PressReader Brings the World's Media to the Middle East and Middle East Media to the World
PressReader is an all-you-can-read digital media platform that reaches more than 250 million readers who use PressReader to read, share and talk about news. Full issues of global newspapers and magazines can be read online, in print or download.

It also offers sponsored access to some 250 million people worldwide through more than 15,000 hotels, libraries, airlines, cruise ships and cafes, including Accor (Sofitel, Novotel, ibis, Pullman, Mercure), Jumeirah, Ritz-Carlton, Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts, Shangri-La Hotels, St. Regis, Trump Hotel Collection, and Emirates Airline, Etihad Airways, and Qatar Airways, to name just a few.
According to a recent Deloitte study, the appetite for high-quality content that offers different viewpoints on current affairs is growing in the Middle East. It is this growing thirst for journalistic excellence that PressReader is determined to quench, and bring Middle East media to the world and the world’s media to the Middle East.
“PressReader is the perfect fit for this thriving market where 97 percent of the population regularly discusses news and current affairs in their daily lives,” said Nikolay Malyarov, PressReader’s chief content officer. “Offering readers different perspectives from trusted local and international sources is exactly what PressReader was designed to deliver. We’re excited to have reached this 200-title milestone, but this is only the beginning. The Middle East is a very important region for PressReader, and we’re committed to growing our publishing and distribution partnerships in the region.”
PressReader’s Middle East momentum is indicative of the company’s persistent growth in the global publishing industry. In 2003, it pioneered the all-access, one-subscription model long before Netflix popularized it for the video industry and Spotify for music. While other ePublishing vendors have attempted to adopt the model for their limited selection of magazines, none have the sophisticated and scalable technology needed to process thousands of newspapers and magazines on a daily basis. PressReader also enhances the user experience with engaging digital features such as instant translation, on-demand narration, cross-title search, social integration and personalization.
PressReader's audit-bureau-compliant and DRM-protected content distribution and publishing solutions present exciting opportunities for publishers to grow readership and revenues through a massive global audience they cannnot easily reach on their own.
