1 Media Content Industry: Newspaper publishing case study Study for IPTS Seville, 31 May 2011, Andra Leurdijk, Mijke Slot, Ottilie Nieuwenhuis

2 2 Main questions 1. What are the main economic developments in the newspaper publishing sector? 2. How have digitisation and the internet affected the value network in the newspaper publishing sector? 3. How have digitisation and the internet affected business models in the newspaper publishing sector? 4. How have the digitisation and the internet affected the competitiveness of the European newspaper publishing sector?

3 3 Characteristics of newspaper publishing sector: market structure Not just economic, but also important social value; democracy, citizenship Cost structure: high first copy costs (production/printing/distribution), rapidly declining average copy costs Editorial costs ~30% Printing ~25% Distribution ~25% Marketing & overhead ~20% Source: TCITP 2009 Strategies of control: economies of scale and scope, scoops / brand/quality / copyrights

4 4 Characteristics of newspaper publishing sector Revenue structure of the two-sided newspaper industry Selling... newspapers to readers audience attention to advertisers 43% 57% Note: percentages of global market Source: PWC (2009); OECD (2010)

5 Titel van de presentatie Characteristics of newspaper publishing sector BUT Cultural and linguistic barriers make news consumption geographically limited (with few exceptions, e.g. Financial Times) Most EU countries have large regional and small national markets, except UK & NL Less concentrated than other sectors in the creative industry. However: during 80 s/90 s concentration increased. Newspaper publishers have become part of major media conglomerates, which are active in different countries and in different media sectors.

6 6 Major Newspaper Publishers in EU (in circulation) Company Headquarters based in Revenues / employees Other activities WAZ Germany 1,98 bln / Magazines, Online, Radio Ringier Switzerland 858,4 mln / Magazines, Online Schibsted Norway 1,611 mln NOK / Online Axel Springer Germany 2,893.9 mln / Magazines, Online, Radio, TV Bertelsman Germany 15,364 bln / Magazines, Books, Online, TV Bonnier AB Sweden MSEK / Books, Online, Radio, TV Sanoma Finland 2,761.2 mln / Magazines, Books, Online, Radio, TV Mecom UK 1,414.8 mln Online

7 7 Newspaper publishing sector in EU27: Developments Number of firms increased with on average 1.8 % per year to 9,000 companies Number of employees decreased with almost 1.6 % per year to Average firm size also declined to 33,6 employees. Value added decreased with on average 1,1% to 15,898 million Euro Labour productivity increased with on average 2.4 %

10 10 Market development: decline in print news consumption Daily newspaper reach in European countries, % of adults (decline in 2009 compared to 2005) Source: OECD (2010), WAN (2010)

11 11 Market developments: decline in advertising revenues 60 Paid for & free dailies advertisement revenues ( ) 44% 50 s) 40 rice p t n re 30 (cu S D U n ilio 20 B % 13% 39% 10% 6% 7% 15% 0 US Japan* Germany* UK France Italy Spain The Netherlands Paid-for & free dailies advertisement revenues ( ). (Data source: WAN, 2010). (* Most recent data = 2008).

12 12 Innovations in print news Free newspapers: In 2000, free dailies entered the market in Europe, in 2004 circulation of free dailies was 15 million copies; by million copies From broadsheet to tabloid size newspaper Improving offer for advertisers with special sections and magazines

13 13 Impact digitisation & internet: production More efficient, faster production of news, more opportunities for research and for presenting news (desktop publishing, digital camera s, internet as source and communication channel, interaction with readers, blogs) But: also a loss of advertising revenues (classifieds) Lower entry barriers (lower costs for production and distribution) Increased competition.

14 14 Impact digitization & internet: production Number of online news sites owned by newspapers, Source: Boczkowski (2005); WAN (2001; 2008)

15 15 Impact digitisation & internet: production New services and products Online newspapers Tablets, mobiles, smartphones Social networks

16 16 Impact digitisation & internet: aggregation The largest online news sites of new news providers are aggregators like Yahoo and Google Similar trend on mobile platforms: Pulse, Zite (aggregators & options for customizing & personalizing news offer) Controversies over deep linking and copy rights Most aggregators do not invest in original news production

17 17 Impact digitisation & internet: consumption Users as producers: Citizen Journalism and User Generated News Users as distributors and marketeers: distribute and share news on Facebook, YouTube etc.

18 18 Impact of digitisation & internet: new business models The demand for and instant access to news is increasing Digital news consumption is more than making up for the decline in traditional news consumption But: online revenues are far from compensating loss in revenues from print advertising & circulation Some newspapers have re-introduced paymodels; still too early to determine their success

19 19 Strenghts and weaknesses of EU publishing market Value network Strengths Weaknesses Production Large number of companies, titles, circulation Strong online presence Conservative sector Aggregation & Distribution Fragmented market Little cross border circulation due to linguistic and cultural differences Business models European newspapers less dependent on advertising than US Declining circulation, readership, advertising revenues Online revenues do not compensate losses in print advertising & subscription

20 20 Opportunities and Threats for EU news publishing market Value network Opportunities Threats Production Benefits of scale through mergers and acquisitions, shared facilities (e.g. sales of advertisments for different titles and media) Cross platform production Esp. English online news services have growth potential Users contribute to production Aggregation & Distribution Mobile platforms takingoff News Apps & e papers Cross platform marketing Business models New pay models: donations, subscription to articles on special themes from var. sources Paywalls for extra and specialist services New advertising options Increasing competition from broadcast & online newsproviders Less investment in original news production (esp. on regional level) Loss of diversity (?) Loss of control over value chain Platform & hardware owners take substantial shares of revenues, mostly US companies

21 21 Conclusions Profitable online business models still lacking, recent take-off of mobile platforms might offer new opportunities Legacy news providers still own brand, can combine print & online & mobile for cross platform production/distribution/marketing/sales Production and distribution no longer controlled by same company. Main news aggregators are US companies Overall decline in revenues is serious threat to investments in original news production
