  • Metro Dailies in the Age of Multimedia Journalism
    Excerpt • Temple University Press Introduction The Crises Facing Newspapers Newspapers have been frequently portrayed as dinosaurs on the verge of extinction. [M]any people assume they will be unable to compete with new forms of elec- tronic media and therefore will eventually die out. That assumption, however, underestimates the adaptability of newspapers and their importance in both contemporary and future societies. (Fidler 1997, 251) edia scholar Roger Fidler’s assessment of the future of newspapers, in his seminal book, Mediamorphosis (1997), Mis still true more than twenty years later. Despite com- petition from the Internet and steep recessionary declines in revenue, U.S. newspapers have survived and are slowly adapting to new technologies and multiplatform content delivery. In the second decade of the twenty-first century, they still provide the majority of the country’s original reporting compared to online news sources (Barthel 2016; Brüggemann et al. 2016; Schizer 2011; Associated Press 2010; Pew 2010; Fritz 2010). Nonetheless, newspapers are struggling as they face both a financial crisis due to decades of annually declining advertis- ing revenue and decreasing circulation numbers and an identity 2 \ IntroductionExcerpt • Temple University Press crisis as they continue to slowly transition from print-only to multiplatform and multimedia content delivery. Significantly, within the newspaper industry, metro dailies, with their high operating costs, have been hit hardest (Barthel 2015a, 2015b, 2016; Doctor 2015a). At the heart of the newspaper crisis is a flawed business model that relies on advertising rather than subscriptions or other forms of revenue (Barthel 2015b, 2016; Brady 2016; Doctor 2015a; Phillips 2014; Ryfe 2012).

  • Media: Magazine Research
    Media: Magazine Research. By: Bethany Watson How many titles are published in the UK currently? There are over 8000 titles currently being published in the UK, but many that are published in the UK are also published in the USA as well, such as ‘Take a Break’, ‘Chat’, ‘Now’ and ‘Heat’. What was the first UK magazine publishing company? Bauer Media Group. This company has its headquarters in Hamburg, Germany. The company was founded in 1875, and by 2013, the number of employees within the company had reached over 11,000 people. Is the UK magazine industry growing or shrinking? Printed copies of many UK magazines are running at a declining rate of roughly 4%-5% over the past few years, but in January 2015, this rose to 7.3% decline and by February 2015, it reached 12.7% decrease (in people buying paper editions of a magazine). This is due to rising use of the internet-many people do still read the magazines, but they tend to prefer to use online renditions, rather than going out and buying a paper copy. What does ‘Circulation’ mean? The audience intended for consumption of the product/ the area in which consumers of the product are centrally based. It could also be the movement of the magazine, so this could be the areas that it meets, and the places it aims to reach (its target audience). What is currently the best-selling title in the UK? The best-selling magazine in the UK currently is TV Choice. On average, TV Choice magazine sells 1,266,242 copies weekly, and has an estimated Annual Retail Sales Value (RSV) of £32.9 billion.

In the recent past, mobile use has smoothed traffic dips during the summer months, as seasonality impacts Web activity. Our traffic data on magazine brands shows a number of sites retreating as vacation weeks slow the flow. But people still flock online for major stories and to track big events. The death of Robin Williams was a key driver for a number of celebrity and enter- tainment sites. Wenner Media’s USMagazine.com (+7.52% PVs, +16.18% UVs) drew fans looking for information, but the MTV Video Music Awards, Emmys and ALS Ice Bucket Challenge also accounted for traffic bumps. Us tells min that Facebook has been an effective source for funneling traffic into its site from viral stories.
