With Customers in Mind. W ANNUAL REVIEW 2015. With Customers in Mind. W This is Bonnier. We continuously reinvent media. Bonnier is the Nordic region’s leading media company, with over 200 years of experience in changing media markets. We are based in Sweden, have operations in 15 countries and are wholly owned by the Bonnier family. Our businesses span the media spectrum, with a strong historic core in independent journalism and book publishing. Now we are working to turn Bonnier into a leading digital media group. 2 BONNIER ANNUAL REVIEW 2015 W Contents 4 6 12 Guaranteeing the future. With Customers in Mind. Where Consumers Are ...

CEO Guaranteeing the Future. Our common goal is to guarantee the future of Bonnier as a strong media company over the long term with a core in journalism and storytelling. BONNIER FACES A TRUE CHALLENGE. In order to survive and be a leading digital media group, we need to work in smarter ways and more effectively in our traditional businesses, while at the same time being more innovative than ever in developing our media and creating new services. WE MUST QUICKLY INCREASE REVENUES from new and digital sources. The year 2015 was a first step towards this for Bonnier. A year in which we showed that we can reach a balance between investing in the future and being profit- able in the here and now. We made big investments in digitalization at the same we had an EBITA of more than SEK 1 billion, well in line with what we budgeted. DURING 2015, we moved further ahead in our goal of having half of our revenues coming from new and digital sources. For 2015, this number was 20 percent compared to 15 percent for 2014. WITH ALL THE STRONG BRANDS and talent within Bonnier, we have a really good chance at succeeding. More importantly, this is completely up to us. We are streamlining, reinvesting and working with our organization and culture through an increased focus on technology, new business and important revenue sources and, above all, on our customers. Advertising will continue to be a significant and important revenue source, but I believe it is through our customers, not our advertisers, that we will grow. JOURNALISM will probably be a smaller part of Bonnier’s business in 10 years than it has been historically, but journalism and storytelling will continue to be a part of Bonnier’s core and the company’s identity. IF WE FAIL TO INCREASE our digital revenues quickly, in just a few years we will lose credibility as a media company that can thrive over the long term. One of our editors-in-chief described a period of poor results in a journalism business as a “wet blanket” over the news desk. And I wholeheartedly believe that to be true. Financial stability is a prerequisite for long-term success and strong and independent media. We are and will continue to be a media company that is proud of its role Read more about the in society and what we contribute in the form of strong, independent media. financial results on page 28.

    Blurred Boundaries of Media: The Circulation of a Corporate News Story on the Web Maria Grafström, Ph.D. Karolina Windell, Ph.D. Dept. of Business Studies Dept. of Business Studies Uppsala University Uppsala University Box 513, 751 20 Uppsala, Sweden Box 513, 751 20 Uppsala, Sweden Email: [email protected] Email: [email protected] Paper submitted to the 26th EGOS Colloquium 2010, sub-theme 19, “Institutions of Management Knowledge: Development and Role.” 1 Introduction I see how Internet changes the journalisms and the circulation. And the old strengths that the newspaper and mainstream media have are no longer valid. Issues can be put on the agenda by grassroots or enthusiasts. Distribution is no longer a problem (Interview Zachrisson 2010, chief at the business weekly VA.se). Over the past few years, new forms of media have emerged. An increasing number of technologies for online communication has evolved, such as search engines, communities, chat rooms, wikis and blogs. These interactive online technologies are commonly named social media and have changed the conditions for publishing and distributing information. And as suggested by Zachrisson in the quote above – an increasing number of actors take part in news production and distribution on the Internet. Citizens, organizations, and corporations can contribute to the general news flow by publishing their own news. News content is, thereby, not only produced and distributed by traditional media, but by an increasing number of actors. The role of mainstream media is bound to change. From previous studies we know that media matters in the business life.
