Newspapers the Rise and Decline Pt 3

We continue our series on Newspaper with the four sources of Newspapers revenue. We start off with the good…

The Good

National Advertising: $ 4.4 billion in revenue

Retail Advertising: $ 14.2 billion

Classified Advertising: $ 6.2 billion

On-line Advertising: $ 2.7 billion

The Bad:

National Advertising: - 26.2% from 2008

Retail Advertising: - 24.2 % from 2008

Classified Advertising: - 38.1% from 2008

On-line Advertising: -11.8% from 2008

Basically huge amount of advertising revenue is being withdrawn from Newspaper and invested in another ad mediums this is highly concerning for newspapers. Not only are they losing readers but they are losing their main source of revenue.
How is Newspaper fighting back?

1. Newspaper National Network: Makes buying print newspaper in multi (local) markets much easier for national advertisers

2. Print is converging with online: online generated newspapers generated over $2.7 billion in revenue in 2009. Covers 120 papers with websites generating over fifty million unique monthly visitors. Lastly, this consolidates the online media buying process for national advertisers

3. Newspapers are creating more niche editions… Targeted by age, ethnicity, and gender preference.
