Analyzing the Australian Media & Advertising Industry
Major national newspapers in circulation today can trace their origins to publications from the colonial period. Early Australian newspapers serve as an important record of local, state and national events and their pages are a rich source of information about a community's history. According to latest April 2009 reports, the Australian newspaper industry is outperforming its counterparts in the UK and US, with advertising revenues only falling marginally from 2008.
In the advertising scenario, there is a global recession, and it is forecasted that Australia will have a soft 2009, after two strong years of performance. According to market researcher Aegis Media, the advertising industry in Australia will increase 1.7% in 2009. However, with a price inflation of 5.2%, spending will actually drop 3.5%. Only the online sector will mark a real growth of 9.7%, but the figure is cut to 5.7% if price inflation is considered.
The future of the ad industry is not in doubt - things will get better, but only companies that have positioned themselves correctly will be able to capitalize on the upswing. To do this, many firms are looking toward technology as the point of departure for huge returns. The convergence of the Internet with television, the growth of wireless communication, and the increasing use of digital video recorders all offer new avenues and challenges for advertisers. Further consolidation across national borders is also expected as ad firms try to deliver global capabilities in an increasingly competitive market.
