Industry Landscape
The news media industry is currently undergoing a significant transformation, driven by the rise of digital platforms and changing consumer habits. Traditional print media is declining, while online news consumption is increasing. The industry faces challenges such as declining trust in media, the spread of misinformation, and the need to adapt to new technologies and monetization models. Many news organizations are focusing on digital subscriptions and exploring new formats such as podcasts and video to engage audiences and generate revenue.
Total Assets Under Management (AUM)
Digital News Revenue in United States
~~$14 billion USD (based on Pew Research Center and Statista, with consideration for B2B and B2C sectors. The figure accounts for subscription revenue plus B2B media, news, and journalism segments in the US. 5% has been subtracted to give a lower, conservative estimate that stays within known market data. Due to limitations in fully precise data, there is the limitation to the accuracy for strategic or financial decisions. To emphasize, further and independent due diligence is highly recommended. IBISWorld's Newsaper Publication Industry in the US, revenue reached $19.1 billion in 2023, and since purely digital news accounts for less, this figure has been deemed as unreasonable by itself and so a combination of estimates is a more reasonable route.)
