I’m looking for examples of subscription communities - members either pay monthly or for an annual subscription to gain full access to your online community. I’m doing research for a for-profit media company that wants to change the way they engage with their audience so staff would be heavily involved, posting content, creating education opportunities, etc.

How about Patreon, TheSkimm, or MasterClass?

You could also look into The Hustle, The Athletic, Headspace, Medium, or Blinkist.

Substack! It's really changing how people read news because they're subscribing directly to the journalists/writers they want to hear from. I highly recommend looking into our model

Patreon is an example of this in a way. Each creator is in a way creating their own community
