International Media The other way for the international advertiser to reach<br />

audiences in various countries is through international media that have multimarket<br />

coverage. The primary focus of international media has traditionally been magazines<br />

and newspapers. A number of U.S.-based consumer-oriented publications have international<br />

editions, including Time, Newsweek, Reader’s Digest, and National Geographic<br />

as well as the newspaper USA Today. Cosmopolitan publishes 29 international<br />

editions that reach over 30 million readers in various countries (Exhibit 20-17). U.S.based<br />

business publications with foreign editions include BusinessWeek, Fortune,<br />

Harvard Business Review, and The Wall Street Journal.<br />

International publications offer advertisers a way to reach large audiences on a<br />

regional or worldwide basis. Readers of these publications are usually upscale, highincome<br />

individuals who are desirable target markets for many products and services.<br />

There are, however, several problems with these international media that can limit<br />

their attractiveness to many advertisers. Their reach in any one foreign country may be<br />

low, particularly for specific segments of a market. Also, while they deliver desirable<br />

audiences to companies selling business or upscale consumer products and services,<br />

they do not cover the mass consumer markets or specialized market segments very<br />

well. Other U.S.-based publications in foreign markets do offer advertisers ways to<br />

reach specific market segments.<br />

While print remains the dominant medium for international advertising, many<br />

companies are turning their attention to international commercial TV. Packagedgoods<br />

companies in particular, such as Gillette, McDonald’s, Pepsi, and Coca-Cola,<br />

view TV advertising as the best way to reach mass markets and effectively communicate<br />

their advertising messages. Satellite technology has helped spread the growth of<br />

TV in other countries and made global television networks a reality. Global Perspective<br />

20-4 discusses how MTV has become the largest global television network in the<br />

world.<br />
