A buyer’s guide for global publishers

Offering unmatched flexibility, scalability, and ease of use, WordPress today powers over 43% of all websites on the internet and has cemented its position as the number one choice for news sites . Prominent media organisations such as CNN, Vox Media, Al Jazeera, and News Corp – publisher of titles including The Times, New York Post, and The Wall Street Journal – rely on WordPress to deliver their content to millions of readers worldwide. Beyond the media industry, WordPress is also trusted by a diverse array of enterprises, ranging from tech giants such as Meta, PayPal and Spotify to institutions like the White House and the UK Civil Service, demonstrating its versatility and reliability across a multitude of sectors.

WordPress has been easy to master with only the briefest training. It helps us to cut out wasteful clicks and see stories taking shape as we work on them – a huge improvement on our previous CMS. Simply put, we can now publish better stories, faster.
