Knight Foundation Acknowledgments We are grateful to the Tow Center for Digital Journalism at Columbia Uni- versity, especially Emily Bell, Claire Wardle, Elizabeth Hansen, Kathy Zhang, and Nausicaa Renner for their support and encouragement of this project. This is the second of two papers that we produced for Tow, following an on- line survey of over 400 journalists at small-market newspapers, which was published in May 2017. We are also grateful to our two graduate assistants Rosalind Donald (Columbia) and Thomas R. Schmidt (University of Oregon) for their tremendous research support. Earlier and emerging versions of these findings were presented at the LION Publishers Conference (2016), the In- ternational Journalism Festival, the Demystifying Media Series hosted by the University of Oregon, the International Communications Association, and the Local News Conference hosted by Ryerson University (all 2017). Early find- ings were also published in an article we wrote for NiemanLab. Lastly, we are deeply indebted to the dozens of people who took the time to speak with us, and share their thoughts and insights about small-market newspapers.

  • Year in Review
    Publishing Insights 6 Year in Review 2017 FTI Consulting and its Publishing team would like to thank our clients for sharing your challenges with us and letting us partner with you once again to help drive margin improvement and position your publications for stability and growth. As we start 2017, we would like to share a recap of 2016, informed by our work on more than 25 publishing engagements and speaking frequently with many of you. or those who recall our Year in Review reflections since 2013, we have focused primarily on driving revenue and building a sustainable business, while identifying opportunities to optimize expenses. We’ve emphasized the imperative of doing so as top-line growth continues to be elusive for most newspapers while many magazines are beginning to experience legacy ad revenue declines and increasing subscriber Frenewal challenges. This year we will again highlight the need to diversify revenue, but our thoughts will be expressed through a slightly different lens. We have summarized some of the best literature on revenue growth, including online video and mobile. So much has been written about the explosion of online video and mobile that we have cited these sources for those of you who wish to review the original articles. From 2016-2019, ad spending is forecasted to drop an average of 5 percent per year for newspapers and 4 percent per year for magazines according to a ZenithOptimedia forecast.1 Given the continued decline in print advertising and the proliferation of online, video and mobile access to news and information today, we ask the question: Is it all about content? One excellent illustration of content-focus stood out this year: Presidential election years have long been busy times for the newspaper and magazine industry, as issues of national importance take center stage, the chronicles of candidates are detailed and debated across media platforms big, small and (today) handheld.

An in-depth look at survival strategies ... Plus: The rise of the Alt-American West in the age of untruth CONTENTS Editor’s note Enemy of the people The first half of my journalistic career was spent abroad, much of it in Cambodia, a Southeast Asian country reeling from decades of war and corruption. The country is run by elites under the patronage of Prime Minister Hun Sen, a strongman who has clung to power for nearly four decades through the brutal suppression of all who oppose him. Hun Sen was a soldier in the Khmer Rouge, the communist guerillas who killed some 2 million of their countrymen, especially those they labeled “enemies of the people,” a term coined by Vladimir Lenin. Hun Sen’s rule is violent, but he is also a skilled demagogue who uses the media to ridicule opponents, subtly encouraging others to attack his foes. His people have thrown grenades into opposition rallies and murdered labor leaders, environmentalists and, yes, journalists — eight of them since 1994.
