Benchmarking Local
Media’s Digital Revenues
Local media’s digital efforts have evolved into a competitive $12 billion industry, representing an 18% share of all locally spent digital advertising. Newspaper, TV, cable, radio, and yellow page companies are driving tens to hundreds of millions of dollars via digital ad sales. For many, it’s one-fourth to one-third of total sales; for some, it’s more than half. This insightful 39-page report is our 15th annual assessment of how large these operations are getting, who’s gaining ground, and who’s losing.
