1. How is The Recorder being reinvented?

The Recorder will expand our news and enterprise coverage through our daily digital offering and, as a result, we will no longer produce a weekly print newspaper. Monday, September 26 will be the last weekly print edition of The Recorder.

2. What value does this product reinvention provide to The Recorder customers?
With 85 percent of our readers already subscribed to our digital platforms, we are preparing to meet their needs on these channels by producing more news, more frequently. As a result, we will become a more timely and nimble news source, providing more breaking news and more in-depth reporting on large-scale issues affecting the California legal community.
3. When will the reinvented Recorder launch?
The digital-only Recorder will launch on Monday, October 3, 2016.
4. How will The Recorder content change for the digital products?
As our platform strategy evolves, our content strategy must evolve with it. In addition to our focus on lawyering around the tech industry, local and national coverage of business of law and litigation and strong data-driven reporting, our coverage will
grow to include:
  • Large-scale issues affecting the CA Bay Area legal community and beyond.
  • Litigation trends in CA Bay Area and the plaintiffs bar including big class action and IP cases, as well as CA’s state and federal courts.
  • More in-depth business of law coverage including Am Law 100 firms, midsize and plaintiff firms.
  • Focus on the future including how technology is changing the law, innovations in law firm structures, compensation, case management, court protocols and litigation trends.
  • More frequent guest columnist features on the CA Bay Area legal scene including substantive law, associate life, ethics, business development and marketing.
  • Trends among young lawyers including culture issues, attitudes, work habits, compensation and view points.
  • Access to key decision makers such as judges and general counsel through Q&A’s and feature stories.
