Mediaweek says, ‘With three months of the year left to run, Mediaweek has listened to our audience and decided to move to a digital-only model. We will stop publishing a regular print magazine after the end of this year.

Mediaweek will continue to publish via our Mediaweek Morning Report and mediaweek.com.au and we shall soon release details of our premium subscription package for 2018 which will be at a lower price point for our supporters.

‘For readers it means we will have more content, more often, across our digital platforms including Twitter and Mediaweek Podcasts via PodcastOne.’
