What is an online newspaper?

Some of the most iconic moments in human history have been immortalized within the pages of a newspaper. For generations, people relied on printed newspapers to learn about what was going on in the world. Digital newspapers have carried on that tradition in the digital age. 

Our newspaper creator gives you all the tools you need to not only create your own newspaper online but monetize it in ways a traditional newspaper never could! It’s time the world heard your story from your point of view. 

Issuu’s interactive newspaper creator helps you assume a position of thought leadership in your industry. You can easily embed links and videos of interviews and first-hand accounts. You can build up your reader base with easy subscription options and spotlight advertisers who support your publication. The newspaper creator makes it so simple to share that your website becomes your newsstand!

How to Make a Digital Newspaper:

  1. Upload your newspaper as a PDF document or import your files directly from Dropbox or Google Drive. You can also upload other accepted file types, like .doc, .docx, or .ppt.

  2. Convert to an Issuu Flipbook to re-create the newspaper feel with flippable pages. 

  3. Reach a wider audience by using our Articless feature. Pull stories from anywhere in your newspaper and easily turn them into mobile-optimized Articles that are customizable and shareable on every channel.

  4. Publish and distribute your online newspaper on Issuu’s platform, and charge for your quality content using the Digital Sales feature with zero commission fees.

Newspaper: FAQs

  • The usual features of a newspaper include black and white text on a gray background, with minimal graphics. Boring! However, when you create your own newspaper online, you are only limited by your own imagination when it comes to colors, backgrounds, and fonts. You can choose between a grid-based design or a multicolumn one, and you should organize your written content with sections or categories and include headlines and excerpts. And make sure you leave some space for your advertisers!

  • There are several ways to generate money from your online newspaper. One of the most popular ways is by selling subscriptions through our digital sales feature. With a quick setup, you’re on your way to commission-free selling.  Another way to generate revenue from your paper is through shoppable links to your products where appropriate. You can also create a membership program or a community calendar. Other helpful ways to make money online include sponsored content and advertising or organizing live or virtual events.

  • With Issuu you have an (almost) endless realm of possibilities when it comes to making your newspaper interactive. Flippable pages make the reading experience more interactive.
