The Economist Will Pitch Sponsored Mini-Documentaries in Its NewFronts Debut

Legacy publisher to offer video formats

The Economist—the 172-year-old British publication known for its thoughtful perspectives on politics, international affairs and finance—will showcase Economist Films for the first time during this year's Digital Content NewFronts.

On May 10 in New York, the publisher will tout video formats including virtual reality, highlight examples of previous films and explain its approach to sponsored content for the video vertical, which launched in June. According to Economist Films president Nicholas Minter-Green, the media company's NewFronts debut will be "a bit of a coming out party" for the project after its first year.
