Publishing survival?#48

Publishing survival?

Printing of newspapers in a printing shop

This article talks about the migration to digital media and offset any losses from print. The article also describes google and facebook as a 'duopoly' as they largely control the majority of the market as well as advertising and are two of the most recognizable brands in the 21st century. The article also suggests that Major challenges clearly exist in the publishing industry, but media companies can survive and thrive by looking beyond traditional business models, diversifying their product lines and seeing opportunities in the challenges they face.

-Dennis publishing  growing its revenue from £59m in 2009 to £93m in 2016.

-The economist suffered decline in advertising revenues for sometime now, including a drop from £83m to £76m last year,

-Economist circulation revenues grew 8% to £176m.

-Economist’s investment in growing its global circulation, which stood at an average of 1,459,929 per issue in the first six months of 2016, 3% higher than five years prior.


I believe that as a result of whats been said there should be a rise in some new publishers because of a diversification of products. But also as a result of social media which is blamed for the declining print industries, more online and independent industries are being set up which is also increasing the diversification.
