Case Study: Publications
Publications are a powerful way to aggregate content into verticals — to build your very own magazine on Medium. You can host content from multiple writers in your publication; staff, policy experts, volunteers, constituents, colleagues, and validators can all contribute their thoughts. If someone you trust can say it well, recruit them to publish into your publication. Conversations benefit from a variety of perspectives.
With publications, you can also take advantage of Medium’s ability to email your stories directly to the inboxes of your readers through our letters tool.
Check out some of the examples below to see how publications have been used by politicians, organizations and others. And then when you’re ready, check out this guide on how to start a publication and how to make it look great.
