Where Will Newspaper Advertisement Be 1 Year From Now?

Advertising in Newspapers

Since the era of British-ruled India, Newspapers have been an indispensable part of our lives. It has actively involved itself in informing and educating the public about the ongoing events around them.

It is without any doubt that Newspaper Advertising is facing tough competition from the Digital Media. If Experts are to be believed then there is a rise in the number of Advertisers who are willing to allocate their resources in these areas. 

With the Audience switching over to Social Media for information updates, Advertisers are concentrating their interests more and more in these territories to grab their attention. 

A Survey conducted by the Reuters Institute for the Study of Journalism, UK on English speaking Indians who have access to the internet showed that in spite of the print media being important, online platforms have a deep influence in the minds of the younger generation. 

56 % of the People under the age of 35 prefer online sites for news updates while only 16 % depending on the print. The study also shows that 38 % of People above 35 years old use Online sources and 27 %  of them choose print media. 

So, does that mean that Newspaper Advertising is supposed to disappear in the Future? Although it seems obvious, there is a catch. There are plenty of proofs claiming that Print Advertisements are set to increase in India and other emerging nations. 

Newspaper Companies can offer e-papers and websites for advertising. The presence of Regional Dailies are best to deliver messages and advertisements in the local Language that digital Media wouldn’t be able to do.

In the Age of fabricated and fake news, Newspapers serve to be trustworthy. People would believe an Advertisement in a Newspaper more than that on a social site. A good study would acknowledge that Newspapers are not to be taken lightly at any cost.
