Revenues from news are down at most publishers<br />
A diverse industry of publishers, titles and business models<br />
Publishers are a mix: some are private (Telegraph Media Group,<br />
Ex<strong>press</strong> Newspapers); <strong>the</strong> Scott Trust is a charity (Guardian News<br />
and Media); o<strong>the</strong>rs resp<strong>on</strong>d to shareholders (News Internati<strong>on</strong>al,<br />
Trinity Mirror, FT Publishing)<br />
<strong>The</strong> prominence of nati<strong>on</strong>al titles obscures <strong>the</strong> 1,2oo regi<strong>on</strong>al and<br />
local titles that serve <strong>the</strong> UK’s cities and towns, where <strong>the</strong>y are part<br />
of <strong>the</strong> fabric of <strong>the</strong> local ec<strong>on</strong>omy. Trinity Mirror and DMGT publish<br />
both nati<strong>on</strong>al and regi<strong>on</strong>al/local titles<br />
Publishers adopt highly divergent business models: <strong>The</strong> Guardian is<br />
operated at a loss; <strong>The</strong> Sun operates at a profit and <strong>The</strong> Times titles<br />
at a loss; etc.<br />
Publishers have irreversible print revenue decline in comm<strong>on</strong>, and<br />
are cutting costs to manage <strong>the</strong> print decline<br />
Digital revenue growth has failed to offset print decline and added<br />
to costs<br />
¯ <strong>The</strong> FT’s global business model has made it more insulated<br />
Pressures <strong>on</strong> titles are <strong>the</strong> same, but <strong>the</strong> impact is different<br />

Key competitive <str<strong>on</strong>g><strong>press</strong>ures</str<strong>on</strong>g> are <strong>on</strong> copy sales revenues and advertiser spend<br />
¯ Two key revenue sources for<strong>the</strong> print editi<strong>on</strong>s:<br />
- Copy sales revenue (sales at retail and subscripti<strong>on</strong>s)<br />
- Display (carried in editorial pages) and classified advertising<br />
(<strong>on</strong> listing pages)<br />
Both revenue lines are under <strong>press</strong>ure<br />
¯ Copy sales revenue:<br />
- Circulati<strong>on</strong> is in l<strong>on</strong>g term decline, which has accelerated<br />
since 2oo 5<br />
- Cover price increases have been cautiously implemented<br />
¯ Competing for advertisers:<br />
- Display has not been healthy due to <strong>the</strong> ec<strong>on</strong>omy<br />
- Internet search is a new opti<strong>on</strong> for display advertisers<br />
- Print classified listings spend has plummeted as spend<br />

For Distributi<strong>on</strong> to CPs<br />
Factors behind <strong>the</strong> accelerati<strong>on</strong> of circulati<strong>on</strong> decline since 2oo5<br />
¯ Circulati<strong>on</strong> has been in l<strong>on</strong>g term decline for decades, roughly coinciding with new types of media for people to<br />
enjoy, such asTV, radio and internet<br />
¯ Cover prices have been raised to sustain copy sales revenues, but <strong>the</strong> strategy has a natural limit and cannot<br />
fully replace lost copy volumes<br />
¯ Salient factors affecting <strong>press</strong> copyvolume sales between 2oo 5 and 2OLO:<br />
- PC-based internet/broadband adopti<strong>on</strong> leapt from 34% to 68% of UK households<br />
- A deep recessi<strong>on</strong> in 2009, from which <strong>the</strong> c<strong>on</strong>sumer has yet to fully recover<br />
- Lack of engagement with print news media byyoung adults<br />
¯ <strong>The</strong> circulati<strong>on</strong> decline between 2oo 5 and 2OlO has been a c<strong>on</strong>sistent feature of all <strong>press</strong> categories:<br />
- Larger at <strong>the</strong> quality nati<strong>on</strong>als (-24%), which have lost nati<strong>on</strong>al market share<br />
- Lower at <strong>the</strong> popular nati<strong>on</strong>als (-17%), which have <strong>the</strong>n gained nati<strong>on</strong>al market share<br />
- High at <strong>the</strong> regi<strong>on</strong>als (-23%), lower for c<strong>on</strong>sumer magazines (-17%)<br />
¯ <strong>The</strong> circulati<strong>on</strong> decline has c<strong>on</strong>tinued into 2o11 based <strong>on</strong> first-half data<br />
¯ Looking ahead, we expect mobile internet adopti<strong>on</strong> will fur<strong>the</strong>r accelerate copy sales decline:<br />
- By 2o15, we estimate that 75% of UK adults will have purchased smartph<strong>on</strong>es (iPh<strong>on</strong>e, Android handsets)<br />
- Tablet penetrati<strong>on</strong>, although much lower, is also enabling mobile internet activities, including news apps<br />
Competiti<strong>on</strong> between newspaper titles for market share will become more aggressive<br />

Titles compete for buyers through brands and c<strong>on</strong>tent bundles<br />
¯ Newspapers have much more than ’hard’ news <strong>on</strong> offer; c<strong>on</strong>tent includes editorial comment, sports, entertainment and lifestyle<br />
¯ ’Hard’ news makes up about 36% of page space at regi<strong>on</strong>al and local titles, 19% of page space at quality and mid-market<br />
nati<strong>on</strong>als, and just 12% at popular (tabloids)<br />

¯ Revenue from internet classifieds have risen faster and higher than display: direct resp<strong>on</strong>se, not display, has flourished <strong>on</strong>line<br />
¯ Online display revenues of news sites are low: cost-per-thousand page views (CPT) is a fracti<strong>on</strong> of print due to <strong>the</strong> vast inventory<br />
¯ BBC news sites (20m m<strong>on</strong>thly UK unique users in August 2011, according to comScore) are supported by a share of licence fee;<br />

For Distributi<strong>on</strong> to CPs<br />
Annual circulati<strong>on</strong>: average circulati<strong>on</strong> (volumes of copies) per issue multiplied by approximate<br />
frequency per year, assuming daily newspapers are published 312 per year and Sunday newspapers 52<br />
times<br />
¯ Classified advertising: <strong>the</strong> distincti<strong>on</strong> between classified and display advertising is not always as clearcut<br />
as sometimes implied, with print advertising at some publishers effectively collated by sector<br />
(’property’) ra<strong>the</strong>r than style or objective<br />
¯ Classified advertising expenditure: <strong>the</strong> final value of campaign commitments to classified inventory<br />
directly transacted by media owners. For newspaper and magazines we use data reported by <strong>the</strong><br />
Advertising Associati<strong>on</strong>/WARC Expenditure Report (AA/WARC); for directories and internet, we<br />
estimate classified expenditure based <strong>on</strong> AA/WARC, market leader company data and our <strong>on</strong>going<br />
c<strong>on</strong>versati<strong>on</strong>s with leading industry players<br />
¯ Company data: newspaper publisher revenues are sourced from annual reports by fiscal year (FY).<br />
News Internati<strong>on</strong>al: FY ends June/July; DMGT, Trinity Mirror, Pears<strong>on</strong> (FT Group), Telegraph Media<br />
Group, Ex<strong>press</strong> Newspapers, Johnst<strong>on</strong> Press and Gannet (Newsquest): FY ends December/January;<br />
Guardian Media Group: FY ends March/April<br />
¯ Copy sales revenue: <strong>the</strong> value of copy sales, i.e. UK circulati<strong>on</strong> multiplied by basic cover price. We <strong>the</strong>n<br />
factor in discounting, free distributi<strong>on</strong> and subscripti<strong>on</strong> pricing. Our estimates are based <strong>on</strong> ABC data for<br />
recent years; we use Newspaper Society data to extrapolate back to 1985<br />
¯ Display advertising expenditure: reported by AA/WARC as <strong>the</strong> final value of campaign commitments<br />
to display (n<strong>on</strong>-classified) inventory, gross of agency commissi<strong>on</strong>s<br />

<strong>The</strong> transiti<strong>on</strong> from print to <strong>on</strong>line by classified category<br />
Each sector is migrating from print to <strong>on</strong>line media at<br />
different rates<br />
Property is lagging behind in <strong>the</strong> growth of <strong>on</strong>line share:<br />
- Agents still rely <strong>on</strong> print for its premium display<br />
characteristics, but this model will come under severe<br />
<strong>press</strong>ure with <strong>the</strong> proliferati<strong>on</strong> of tablets offering similar<br />
display envir<strong>on</strong>ments<br />
- Property addresses an older demographic than o<strong>the</strong>r<br />
verticals, giving regi<strong>on</strong>al and local <strong>press</strong> effective reach<br />
Estimated print and <strong>on</strong>line classified advertising revenue (£m), 2oo5-±o<br />
~i~!!~ ~ ~°/o<br />
Digital revenue growth in <strong>the</strong> classified sectors will<br />
increasingly rely <strong>on</strong> n<strong>on</strong>-listings activities, such as display,<br />
data-driven lead soluti<strong>on</strong>s, enhanced listings and so <strong>on</strong><br />
Unfortunately for print media, such developments will make it<br />
still harder to develop print advertising in <strong>the</strong>se categories,<br />
though great display platforms will have an important place<br />
for <strong>the</strong> foreseeable future, particularly in property<br />
