When Jane Mahoney at Private Media in Melbourne signed up for our newsletters a couple of weeks ago, she said she was about to set up a reader revenue practice for her company. Obviously I was excited and I asked if she would talk us through her journey and the process every week — a little reader revenue nerd-fest on Splice Pink.

Jane Mahoney is Head of Reader Revenue at Private Media in Australia, which owns the popular Crikey, Smart Co, and The Mandarin mastheads.

This is a new role for her after four years as Associate Publisher at Crikey. Jane describes herself on LinkedIn as a “big nerd for reader-funded journalism, data-driven everything, subscription marketing and news product. Always keen to talk about journalism, country music and sport.”

We never got to country music — but we’re keen to check in to see what she’s doing on reader revenue. This is the start of what we hope would give us a front-row seat on Private Media’s new projects. She’ll be taking us on this journey of transformation here on Splice Pink.
