(0)What price a newspaper?
Posted in Media, Branwell Johnson, Latest reporters' blogs November 7th, 2008 by Branwell Johnson
It doesn’t seem to matter whether publishers slash the cover price or put it up – newspapers still ain’t selling.

The Indy takes a price gamble
Posted in Media, Branwell Johnson, Latest reporters' blogs September 12th, 2008 by Branwell Johnson
What’s a daily newspaper worth? Our chosen publications give far more in terms news, comment and entertainment than the few silver coins we cough up but I wager The Independent may be about to discover that readers can be cheapskates.

Magazines under attack
Posted in Media, Arif Durrani, Latest reporters' blogs August 7th, 2008 by Arif Durrani
Who’d want to be a magazine publisher right now? With just a week to go before the industry’s biannual circulation report, which is expected to be bloody and already has commentators sharpening their talons, and the nation’s weeklies and monthlies are already fighting on other fronts.

What the papers didn’t say
Posted in General, Media, Arif Durrani June 2nd, 2008 by Arif Durrani
Newspapers are a growth business, as supported by a two and half per cent hike in global circulations in 2007, according to figures from the World Association of Newspapers (WAN); I’m just amazed chief executive Timothy Balding could talk with all that sand in his mouth.

Will the Guardian still be here in 20 years?
Posted in Media, Digital, Arif Durrani, Latest reporters' blogs May 12th, 2008 by Arif Durrani
Irascible media commentator Roy Greenslade has been creating waves on the other side of the world this month, scaring Australia’s newspaper men silly with his gloves-off vision of media convergence and the future of the printed word, or rather the lack of it.

Whole new ball game for Telegraph marketing
Posted in Media, Branwell Johnson, Latest reporters' blogs January 29th, 2008 by Branwell Johnson
So, The Telegraph Group, after much humming and hah-ing, has decided to appoint a marketing director and has plumped for AOL director of marketing Barry Flanigan. That’s a good choice given the Telegraph is trying to reinvent itself as a multimedia brand with an online presence as strong as the paper product.
