41 It's all of a piece, in other words, and Mort- gagePoint is our solution to that feedback: putting all the industry news you've come to rely on from DS News and MReport in one place. Mortgage- Point will offer businesses and individuals access to up-to-date mortgage industry data, news, and commentary alongside in-depth profiles of the hard-working individuals who support all aspects of this complex sector of the American economy. rough that single portal, MortgagePoint will also continue to bring you multimedia features such as webinars and podcasts to provide users with a comprehensive view of the mortgage landscape. MortgagePoint will also give our industry partners an ideal platform to spotlight their com- panies and contributions, providing streamlined content accessibility for partners. roughout its properties, DS News reaches a combined readership of 50,000 people each month, and an additional audience of well over 20,000 on social media. MReport reaches a similar amount of 45,000. Together, they share 80% of the same audience. "With MortgagePoint, our goal is to create one unified brand across our magazine, email marketing, and website properties, organically increasing the reach for advertisers without the risk of losing a captive audience," said Jonathan Hughes, President of Five Star Global. "With MortgagePoint, our partners will enjoy greater magazine circulation, a larger subscriber base through our Daily Dose, and greater digital im- pressions without having to choose between the brands and risk missing an important segment of their potential audience. We strongly believe that MortgagePoint represents the natural next step for the growth path FSI has been on since the launch of DS News nearly a decade and a half ago, and we can't wait to show our readers and partners where this new platform will take us." MortgagePoint Magazine will launch this April with a special edition focused on govern- ment loan servicing and the government's role in the mortgage and housing industries, timed to coincide with Five Star's annual Government Forum at the National Press Club on April 11. It will include a cover spotlight interview with Julia R. Gordon, Assistant Secretary for Housing and Federal Housing Commission- er, U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. From there, we'll bring you a new edition of MortgagePoint each month, alongside a supporting website (launching in May) that will unify the strengths of DS News and MReport in one single location, continuing to bring you the insights and reporting you've come to expect. Existing magazine subscribers will be folded into MortgagePoint seamlessly, so you won't have to worry about missing a single issue. For those who enjoy our daily and weekly email blasts, the DS Daily Dose and MDaily publications will continue, now co-branded under the MortgagePoint banner but continuing to bring you the same mix of news, interviews, features, industry announcements, and more. And MorgagePoint Weekly will take over the Saturday morning slot, bringing you a roundup of each week's most important and impactful coverage. To reserve your MortgagePoint subscription and ensure you're kept up to date on all the announcements, make sure to sign up here. We're excited about everything we have to show you in the months ahead as we begin our MortgagePoint journey. We hope you'll all join us on that road.
