Hello new subscribers! Welcome from Suchandrika Chakrabarti‘s great post on newsletters that freelancers should subscribe to.

Topping today’s newsletter is a story about new subscription features that the Washington Post is building into its CMS, Arc. As I highlighted in a recent newsletter, the Washington Post sees Arc as business that can grow to $100m as it sells the CMS to other publishers. This feels like a major push for Arc.

Also in the newsletter:

• US chain Gannett (where I worked as a regional executive editor) has seen off a hostile takeover bid by hedge fund Alden Global Capital.
• Condé Nast Sells Brides Magazine to Barry Diller’s Dotdash. Print mag will stop.
• And why search-based digital publishers are looking like attractive take-over targets.

If you are just seeing this and haven’t subscribed to the newsletter, sign up here. And please, if you spot a good story – especially a good media story outside of the US – let me know on Twitter @kevglobal.
