The Decline of Future Publishing and Print Media

The digitisation of everything in our fast paced world has been leaving more and more traditional companies behind who have failed to adapt quickly enough to the transformation of traditional forms of physical media. Print media is possibly most the most affected in this transition period, where niche magazines struggle to stay afloat due to falling advertising revenues, contending with the never-ending stream of free content online. Last week it was reported how Future Publishing is proposing to close CVG, Edge Online and the websites for Official PlayStation, Official Xbox and Official Nintendo but should we be surprised? With Future publishing revealing new strategies, concentrating on advertising space rather than proper content, this will ultimately benefit nobody because you need quality content and engagement with your readers for advertising to be a success.
