You have almost certainly heard of many of their brands including People, Entertainment Weekly, Travel and Leisure, and Martha Stewart Living. They recently finished migrating millions of articles and images into a company-wide CMS based in WordPress. The company now runs over 25 sites on the platform and they all use Gutenberg.

It's great to see Gutenberg working successfully for publishers at such massive scale!

Meredith are not alone in using WordPress and Gutenberg for publishing. The Knight Foundation is paying 24 newsrooms to upgrade their websites and 20 choose WordPress.

If you really don't like Gutenberg, there are a wide variety of ways you can disable the block editor. But the PublishPress team, and many other WordPress publishers, will keep diving in.
