The Publishing Industry Jumps the Shark
Apr 17th, 2007 by Dan Blank
Scott Karp looks at two watershed moments in publishing:
- New York Times becomes an aggregator.
Scott is referring to the Times’ relaunched auto section of their website, which includes aggregated content and tools. - Print ad revenue is no longer the majority of B2B publisher revenue.
Scott is referring to a recent ABM report that B2B publishers now earn more revenue from events than print advertising. - Publishers Information Bureau no longer reporting monthly print ad pages.
Scott feels that they are reducing the information flow in order to deliver bad news less frequently.
