Scranton Publication puts your Medium articles in front of audiences who never open Medium, amplifying the outside traffic that earns you the most.
We don't chase algorithms.
We chase real readers.
The Scranton editorial position
Medium's internal algorithm is a black box. You publish, you wait, you hope. Outside traffic is different.
A reader who finds your article from X or from a shared link counts more. Medium pays more for them. Scranton manufactures that outside traffic, systematically, for every writer on our publication.
The platform has over 100 million readers. But most of them never see your work. The traffic that pays most comes from outside.
Medium's own distribution counts for less in its partner program than readers arriving from external sources.
Every article has angles, facts, or moments that never reach readers outside Medium's walls. That is the leverage being left on the table.
Running a social amplification layer on top of writing is a full-time job. Most writers cannot sustain both. That is what a publication is for.
Write your article and submit it to our Medium publication. Science, technology, business, history, or society. We cover the full range.
Our editors pull one striking idea, fact, or angle from your piece and craft it into a thread on @teamscranton. The thread links back to your full article on Medium.
Readers arriving from X count as external traffic. That is the traffic Medium pays you most for, starting June 2026.
Every long article has a buried gem. A counterintuitive fact, a forgotten story, a line that would stop a scroll. That content is invisible inside Medium's paywall. We pull it out, thread it on the open web, and use it to pull readers into the full article. It is a discovery loop, not a summary.
We publish across five disciplines and edit each piece for clarity, accuracy, and staying power. Our bar is set by what we would want to read ourselves.
Discoveries, research, and the natural world explained with clarity and depth. No press release rewrites.
The systems shaping how we live and work. AI, infrastructure, and what the engineers are not saying.
Strategy, markets, and the decisions behind institutions. Analytical, not breathless.
The past as a lens on the present. Original angles on overlooked stories that actually happened.
Culture, behavior, and the forces shaping how people live. Written with curiosity, not judgment.
We edit for clarity, accuracy, and staying power. Our bar is set by what we would want to read ourselves.
We distribute every piece we accept. You write, we thread it on X, outside readers find you on Medium.

As Medium expands partner payouts in June 2026, writers with external traffic earn disproportionately more. That is the edge we build.
