We know lots of sci/tech reporters with strong stories to tell and nowhere to publish them. Bobbie and I feel that there isn’t enough really great long-form reporting on sci/tech, particularly investigative work. It was a combination of frustration about science and technology journalism, together with the emergence of a new business model. We talked with MATTER co-founder Jim Giles about the launch. Read their first piece, “Do No Harm,” a haunting story by Anil Ananthaswamy about “being at war with your own body.” Pocket has become an important tool for millions of people, and we’re excited to help publishers like MATTER make it easy for their subscribers to save and enjoy those stories anywhere. Using our Site Subscription feature, you’ll be able to quickly save MATTER stories to Pocket-and when you’re in Pocket, you can log into MATTER to begin reading it. When you subscribe to MATTER for 99 cents a month, it means you can also access their stories in Pocket. Today we’re thrilled to announce that MATTER and Pocket have teamed up to help readers enjoy these new stories with Pocket-on any tablet, phone or computer, even offline. Their goal was to create a digital publishing company for original longform storytelling in the realm of science, technology and the future.
Digital publishing is evolving rapidly, and earlier this year, we met two journalists, Jim Giles and Bobbie Johnson, who decided to launch their own project on Kickstarter, called MATTER.
