Editor's Notes
- While big online players like Yahoo and YouTube are banking on the scale and absolute reach of their platforms, The Wall Street Journal is pitching itself on the dedication and makeup of its readership. And that readership looks exactly how youâd expect. Journal readers are largely male, over 40, and make more than $100,000 year and comprise a highly desirable demographic. The Wall Street Journalâs video programming has itself come into its own in the past few years. Its video content includes short, straightforward CNN-like news reports, longer segments, and even sponsored video content, much of which the Journal is actively helping brands create, like this âdocumentary advertising featureâ created for Millennium Systems International. And the viewership is there as well: Overall, the Journalâs video content, accessible on desktop, mobile and TV consoles like Roku and AppleTV, is streamed 30 million times a month, according to the Journal.
- In September 2012, BuzzFeedâs online video presence was represented by a single channel claiming just under 10,000 subscribers. 18 months later, BuzzFeedâs online video content has racked up more than a billion views across several channels.As with much of the companyâs content, BuzzFeedâs web videos are heavily driven by social sharing. Frank noted that only 20% of the companyâs views come from subscribers, and only 15% come directly from BuzzFeed. Instead, videos are created to be âsharableâ rather than âconsumableâ, and BuzzFeed pays close attention to the statements that accompany social shares.
