Our story

PressReader was originally NewspaperDirect, founded in 1999 by Alexander Kroogman, Anatoly Karachinsky, and Esther Dyson. NewspaperDirect sought to give travelers access to their hometown newspaper, by allowing copies of current issues to be printed anywhere in the world.

In 2003, NewspaperDirect launched its all-you-can-read service, PressReader. Though PressReader was early to the market (smartphones and tablets weren’t yet a thing, and very few people were aggregating media at that point), it soon became clear that the idea was a good one. NewspaperDirect rebranded as PressReader in 2014. Since then, PressReader has grown rapidly, from just 100K MAUs to more than 12M MAUs today — and accelerating quickly.
