Paywalls or No Paywalls, Newspaper Revenue Declines Seen Through 2017
Posted in: Uncategorized
Despite the promise of online paywalls and gains in digital readers, U.S. newspapers’ total revenue will continue to decline through at least 2017, a new report said.
Total U.S. newspaper revenue is projected to slip at a combined annual growth rate of 2.9% between 2013 and 2017, as circulation trends improve but advertising falls at a compound annual rate 4.2%, according to the latest annual Global Entertainment and Media Outlook from PricewaterhouseCoopers.
“There are some very positive signs about the resilience of the industry, but a lot of that lost revenue won’t necessarily come back,” said Greg Boyer, managing director at PricewaterhouseCoopers’ entertainment, media & communications practice.
