"Small-scale," high-value-added services such as newsletters, paid columns, think-tank reports, and custom data products are becoming new growth engines for media organizations. Amid pressure on traditional advertising, they diversify revenue through knowledge-based payments. The key to success lies in combining the appeal of personal IP (e.g., KOL-driven subscriptions) with institutionalized professional capabilities (e.g., in-house writing teams, think-tank resources). The former attracts users, while the latter ensures sustained, high-quality output. This trend is reflected globally, with even non-profit media relying on paid content for sustainability.
