News Industry Summit

Why push notifications matter in an instant news world

Posted

With local news competing for screen time and "digital moments" from consumers, it is important to understand what brings your news ahead of others.  During next month's News Industry Summit, learn how push notifications have changed the way mobile consumers capture information and how your news organization can maximize the opportunity. 

At the News Industry Summit, attend Friday morning's breakout session presented by Wade Beavers, president of mobile with Newscycle Solutions. He will discuss:

  • Why 65 percent of users return to an app within 30 days when push is enabled.
  • The types of push notifications that are opened most often.
  • How push notification can replace or work with social media plans.

Before joining Newscycle Solutions, Beavers was one of the founders and CEO of DoApp Inc., which developed mobile apps for healthcare, news publishing and real estate management. DoApp developed three of the first 500 apps that ever appeared in the Apple App Store. He has been featured in Business Week, ESPN the Magazine, Bloomberg, and iPhone Life on mobile technologies and innovation.

This year's News Industry Summit will include 24 sessions offering content for all audiences – with general sessions and breakout sessions that simultaneously target dailies, weeklies and editors.  You choose the programs that fit your specific interests.
