The Washington Post partner program signs on nearly 100 papers

Nearly 100 newspapers will participate in The Washington Post partner program first announced earlier this year. Several papers have already begun rolling out the program to their subscribers, and the rest will be rolling out access over the next several weeks.

The program, which was announced earlier this year, allows partner publications to offer The Post's suite of digital products free as an added value for their paid subscribers. In turn, The Post is able to expand access to its digital content across desktop, mobile websites and phone and tablet apps.

"Signing on almost 100 partners is a testament to the strength of this idea, and we've been encouraged by the response from other newspapers. We're excited to keep growing throughout the country, in addition to expanding to publishers outside of the U.S.," said Steve Hills, president and general manager of The Washington Post.

Digital First Media, which represents more than 65 newspapers, recently signed on. A full list of partners is available at this link.
