Risk Management Solutions (RMS): reported revenues were £43 million, with underlying growth of 4%, in line with expectations as the core business continues to perform well. RMS continues to engage with clients and develop RMS(one) although, as indicated at the half year results presentation on 22 May 2014, the project is around a year behind previous expectations. dmg information: revenues grew strongly to £103 million with underlying growth of 11%. Genscape (our energy business) grew underlying revenues by a particularly strong 23% in the quarter with good performances delivered elsewhere across the portfolio. dmg events: reported revenues were £22 million, with underlying growth of 13% in the quarter, and include the Global Petroleum Show (GPS) which occurred in June 2014 but did not take place in 2013. GPS grew its revenue by an encouraging 17% compared to the previous event held in June 2012. 1 Euromoney Institutional Investor’s reported revenues of £107 million were adversely impacted by the strong pound, but underlying revenues were in line with last year. Euromoney released its IMS on 16 July 2014. dmg media Revenue Growth v Prior Year Reported Underlying# Q1 Q2 Q3 YTD Q1 Q2 Q3 YTD dmg media -2% -2% -7% -3% +2% +1% -1% +1% Advertising +3% 0% -4% 0% +7% +3% +5% +5% Circulation -4% -5% -6% -5% -2% -5% -6% -4% Reported revenues were £183 million, with underlying# revenues down 1% on last year. Circulation revenues were down 6% for the quarter due to lower sales volumes, although the Daily Mail and The Mail on Sunday continue to report increases in market share, reaching 22.7% and 21.8% respectively in June*. Total underlying# advertising revenues across dmg media were up 5% in the quarter, with newspapers down 3%, newspaper companion websites (mainly MailOnline) up 43% and other digital advertising (Wowcher and Jobsite) up 17%. MailOnline’s digital advertising revenue growth of £5 million (up 49%) to £15 million for the quarter exceeded the decline of £3 million (down 5%) in print advertising revenues, to £46 million, at the Daily Mail and The Mail on Sunday for the same period. Underlying# advertising revenues across the combined print and digital Mail businesses were consequently up 4%. MailOnline’s global monthly unique browsers in June stood at 169 million, up 39% on last year, and average global daily unique browsers were 11.0 million, an increase of 34% on last year. Within other digital advertising, Wowcher delivered a particularly strong performance with revenues of £6 million (up 58%) and it now has a substantial database of 5.5 million subscribers. For the three weeks since 29 June 2014, total underlying# advertising revenues are up 9% on last year. Net debt / financing Net debt at 30 June 2014 was £550 million, down from £793 million at 31 March 2014. In the period there were disposal proceeds of £233 million, acquisition payments of £7 million, interest payments of £25 million, tax payments of £10 million and £7 million was used to buy back DMGT shares. The £100 million share buy back programme resumed in May 2014 and total repurchases to 23 July 2014, including purchases during the prior financial year, stood at £83 million. On 23 July 2014, DMGT received a £9 million dividend from the Press Association, following its disposal of MeteoGroup in December 2013. 2 Active portfolio management As a result of the IPO of Zoopla Property Group (ZPG) in June 2014, DMGT has received net proceeds to date of £179 million and its stake in the business has been reduced from 52.1% to 31.8%. The disposal of dmg media’s remaining digital recruitment businesses, Jobrapido and Jobsite, were announced in the quarter and the Jobsite transaction is expected to complete in the final quarter of calendar 2014. Acquisition activity during the quarter included dmg information investing in businesses in the energy and property information sectors. On 16 July 2014, Euromoney announced the acquisition of the trade and certain assets of the Mining Investment Events Division of Summit Professional Networks for £45 million. The principal asset, the Investing in African Mining Indaba brand, is the leading investment forum and trade event for African mining. Euromoney already has a strong presence in the commodities markets and with investors, in particular through its Metal Bulletin and Institutional Investor brands, and the acquisition provides Euromoney with an excellent opportunity to expand its position in these markets.

For dmg information, underlying growth includes the year-on-year organic growth from acquisitions. For dmg events, the comparisons are between events held in the year and the same events held the previous time other than ADIPEC, which became an annual event in November 2013, which is compared to 50% of the revenues of the biennial November 2012 event. For Euromoney, no adjustments are made for the timing of events but acquisitions are excluded completely. For dmg media, underlying comparisons exclude contract printing revenue, which ceased last year, the central and eastern European businesses, which were disposed of last year, Villarenters, OilCareers, Broadbean and Jobrapido which were disposed of this year and distribution services revenue, which ceased earlier this year. The disposal of Jobsite, formerly part of dmg media’s Evenbase business, is expected to complete in the final quarter of calendar 2014 and Jobsite is still included in the underlying figures. Northcliffe Media is excluded from the DMGT Group underlying comparisons. + DMGT Group reported revenues include Northcliffe Media, which was disposed of at the end of December 2012, up to the date of its sale. Excluding Northcliffe Media, year to date DMGT Group reported revenues were up 6% on last year. ~ Current City analyst expectations of adjusted profit before tax for 2014 range from £277 million to £304 million and adjusted earnings per share from 51.7 pence to 58.0 pence with a consensus of £286 million and 54.4 pence. Adjusted results are from continuing and discontinued operations and are stated before exceptional items, other gains and losses, impairment of goodwill and intangible assets, pension finance charges, premiums on bond redemptions and amortisation of intangible assets arising on business combinations. * Daily Mail 22.7%, a record level, compared to 22.2% last year and The Mail on Sunday 21.8% compared to 20.9% last year. Circulation market share figures are calculated using ABC’s June 2013 and June 2014 National Newspapers Reports.

  • The Future of Public Service Broadcasting DMG Media Response to the Digital, Culture, Media and Sport Select Committee's Call
    Written evidence submitted by DMG Media The Future of Public Service Broadcasting DMG Media response to the Digital, Culture, Media and Sport Select Committee’s call for evidence 1. This response is made on behalf of DMG Media, the publishers of the Daily Mail, Mail on Sunday, MailOnline, Metro, Metro.co.uk, the ‘i’ and inews. It is being submitted because BBC online news competes for audience with our digital titles and we are concerned that funding changes could give the BBC an unfair advantage. 2. DMG Media is not a broadcaster, and public service broadcasters have by longstanding convention not published newspapers. Therefore, whilst over the decades our news titles and the BBC may have had political and cultural differences, they have not been commercial rivals. 3. However the coming of the digital age has changed that. The philosophical foundation of the BBC was that in return for public funding and access to scarce broadcast spectrum, it would develop then-new technology (radio and television) and use it to provide, in addition to education and entertainment, an impartial news service. The written word was not part of its remit. 4. The unlimited possibilities of the internet have destroyed the rationale of that arrangement. Satellite, cable, and now streaming have brought new competitors into the entertainment market, global players with vastly greater resources than the BBC. 5. The BBC is dependent for funding on the licence fee, over which successive governments have resolutely retained control, doubtless believing that a national broadcaster which has to regularly come to the government of the day with a begging bowl is more likely to be compliant.

    DMG Media—written evidence (FOJ0033) Response the House of Lords Communications and Digital Committee call for evidence on the future of journalism Overview 1. DMG Media publishes the Daily Mail, Mail on Sunday, MailOnline, Metro and metro.co.uk. DMG Media is a subsidiary of DMGT, which has also recently purchased the i and inews. 2. We are always ready to assist the Communications and Digital Committee, and welcome any government initiatives which advance the cause of freedom of expression and contribute to a healthy media industry. We are very grateful for the support the Department for Digital, Culture Media and Sport has given to new publishers during the current Coronavirus crisis. This has brought into sharp focus the economic frailty of the news industry, and will inevitably both shorten the time the industry has to make a successful transition from print to digital, and strengthen yet further the market dominance of the online platforms, Google and Facebook. 3. It is fair to say that over the last couple of years news publishers have faced a unprecedented array of inquiries, codes of practice and legislation, some very helpful, others much less so. 4. The Cairncross and Furman Reviews, and the Competition and Markets Authority Online Advertising Market Study all address the fundamental issue, which is that reliable journalism will have no future in the UK unless ways can be found to deliver enough revenue to support a wide and varied range of digital publications - including global players like MailOnline, the online equivalents of traditional local news newspapers, and specialist titles.

    International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health Article “East” in Europe—Health Dimension through the Lens of the UK Daily Mail and Statistical Facts Izabella Lecka 1,*, Viktoriya Pantyley 2,*, Liudmila Fakeyeva 3,* and Alexandrina Cruceanu 4 1 Centre for Health Care Management, Faculty of Management, University of Warsaw, 02-678 Warsaw, Poland 2 Institute of Socio-Economic Geography and Spatial Management, Maria Curie-Sklodowska University in Lublin, 20-031 Lublin, Poland 3 University of Edinburgh Business School, Edinburgh EH8 9JS, UK 4 Faculty of History and Geography ¸Stefancel Mare, University of Suceava, 720229 Suceava, Romania; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] (I.L.); [email protected] (V.P.); [email protected] (L.F.) Abstract: The study concerns the relationship between health and geopolitics in the United Kingdom (UK). To demonstrate this relationship, we examined the subject and tone of articles published in the popular media (on the example of tabloid the Daily Mail) in 2006–2020 concerning health and medical care, and the health and health care practice of Eastern European immigrants belonging to and not belonging to the European Union (EU). There was an increase in media criticism of the behaviour of immigrants in the years 2014–2017, in the period around the referendum in favour of the UK leaving the EU (Brexit). Attention was drawn to the media’s use of a Belief in a Zero-Sum Game (BZSG) narrative at that time. On both sides, “hosts” and the “guests”, a progressive anomy Citation: Lecka, I.; Pantyley, V.; process was observed, degrading the behaviour of individuals and social groups.
