A panel of listeners complete a daily questionnaire recording which radio stations they listen to and for how long. These results are published on a quarterly basis. From Q2 2007 listeners have been able to tell RAJAR if they listened on AM/FM, DAB Digital Radio, Digital TV (Sky/Freeview/Cable) or via the Internet.

Online platforms for newspapers continue to grow showing just how powerful the two mediums are in combination, titles are reinvigorating their products to claw back at their circulations and new titles are also launching. I'm anticipating further developments this year especially in mobile and cross platform opportunities. Watch this space. Here are the highlights of the last few months of 2008: Daily Mirror unveils new mobile platform Daily Mail increases its cover price Daily Mail and Mail on Sunday merge commercial teams MediaEquals add new inventory to the online trading system Independent on Sunday relaunches Guardian website breaks the 10m UK user's barrier Independent on Sunday undergoes a full colour relaunch ES Magazine goes online for the first time Sport Magazine celebrates its 100th issue FHM Bionic is brought back by Bauer Media Cond?ast announce new magazine launch Mon, 12 Jan 2009 15:02:00 GMT http://aca-demy.co.uk/articles.php?rp=articles/third-quarter-print-overview-july--september-2008 http://aca-demy.co.uk/articles.php?rp=articles/third-quarter-print-overview-july--september-2008 Below is a summary of the print market from the last three months. Thu, 06 Nov 2008 15:55:50 GMT http://aca-demy.co.uk/articles.php?rp=articles/the-current-mens-market http://aca-demy.co.uk/articles.php?rp=articles/the-current-mens-market I like to think of the men's lifestyle market as a bit of a butterfly. After a spell of being a rather inoffensive caterpillar during the 90s, (think GQ, Arena and Esquire etc), it then went into hibernation as a cocoon. It's during this time as the rather ugly looking cocoon that the real transformation takes place and in the case of this analogy, when the men's market became saturated with tits and arse and not much in between. For a while the numbers were delivered and the target audience met, the men's market was viewed as a new growth area that provided men with "snippets" of information, easily digested. This in turn allowed women to scoff about how fitting this was and how the research finally proved, (what we already knew) that men could only handle small chunks of information, at one time.

The market can be viewed as two separate categories: news/lifestyle magazines, which consist of titles such as Top Gear and Autocar, and buyers guides, which are made up of the likes of What Car and Auto Trader.

Changing consumer habits, and particularly the availability of many and varied sources of "news" via the internet, has led to the prevailing thinking that the print market is trapped in a spiral of "terminal" decline?? The good news is this is NOT the case. Thu, 10 Jan 2008 14:53:57 GMT
