Online Publishing

Product Type: Market Research Report
Published by: eMarketer
Published: September 2005
Product Code: R203-231
Description
This report focuses on online newspaper publishers, with comparative data for two other publishing sectors: verticals such as Cnet and iVillage, and portals. Online revenues across all groups rose sharply in 2004, with portals turning in the most staggering gains thanks to the rapid growth of search advertising. Online newspaper publishers saw revenues zoom 38% last year, and first-half performance signals similar gains this year. Online newspapers, in other words, grew faster than the overall online ad market last year, which grew 32.5% in 2004, and are on a pace to do it again in 2005.
