Publishers are grappling with how to make sure audience development -- now key to how they scale and make money -- serves all sides of the business, whose interests often conflict. "The talent that we needed just wasn't out there": After having trouble finding video creators with diverse expertise, The Washington Post started cross-training its video team across all storytelling platforms and video formats it uses. Cannes Lions starts next week. Here are the storylines, including Donald Trump and brand safety, that will dominate conversations at the festival. On average, Bleacher Report users spent 151 minutes per month in its app this past year, the highest among major sports publishers. Here's a look at the improvements it made to achieve this.
