WaPo's Arc Platform Has Its First Paying Customer

Willamette Week takes the plunge.

While Arc, Washington Post’s publishing platform, was built in-house and designed for the needs of the Post newsroom, it was planned from the beginning as a customizable product that would be made available to other organizations, a new revenue stream for the organization.

After an initial test run with college papers at Columbia, Yale and the University of Maryland, the platform now has its first paying customer.

Willamette Week, a Pulitzer prize-winning alternative weekly, is the first publication to license the Post product.
