Print Advertising Agency Sydney
Print is not a dying platform many have predicted. Recent changes have shifted the way newspapers are distributing content moving many publications to online behind a pay wall, while also providing hard copy through the usual distribution channels.
Regardless of the changes newspaper and print media retains high trust factors with consumers, with regional papers considered to be the most trustworthy, followed by national, community and then metropolitan mastheads. Research has shown the continued credibility and reputation is strong due to the regulations that are in place, and publishers must comply with laws and codes of practice.
In contrast, social media ‘news’ content are often considered “clickbait” and not factual, with respondents feeling that social media is less trustworthy. High levels of spam exist and unregulated, user generated content is not necessarily factual. This augers well for print media and advertisers, as consumers marry content to ads, and they are more trusted if content is reputable.
In terms of reach and cost efficiency in comparison to other platforms, print media is still competitive but continuity of appearance is essential in order to build reach and effective frequency levels.
An estimated 94 per cent of Australians still engage with news media, which represents 17.4 million people. A healthy 12.1 million people read print news media, while 15.7 million read digital news media, and 10.4 million read cross-platform. According to Roy Morgan, 15.7 million people read a newspaper either in print or digitally each day.
