OVERVIEW

The print publishing industry, which has seen sharp declines in advertising revenues and circulation during recent years, is at a crossroads. People are increasingly accessing content online where a lack of willingness to pay for subscriptions means that digital publishers have had to rely on advertising to fund their businesses, a task that has proved challenging in the current economic climate.

However, in the annual census of members of the Association of Online Publishers, 75 percent of members said that they plan to increase investment in mobile publishing this year, proving that mobile has become the key focus for 2010.

Consumers are used to paying for content on mobile with UK content revenues increasing to £242 million in 2009 and forecast to hit £302 million by 2010, according to research firm Mobile Squared. Handsets are becoming increasingly more powerful, users are now accessing the mobile internet for a flat rate, the explosion of apps and the launch of the iPad and Kindle all present clear opportunities for publishers to create new mobile business models.
