One of our keynote presentations at the virtual FOLIO: Show Virtual last week included a panel of leading executives in the industry, including F+W Media CEO David Nussbaum. Nussbaum gave one of the most provocative responses during the hour-long discussion, essentially saying that print advertising is an irrevocably declining source of …

During the American Business Media Executive Forum yesterday, BusinessWeek chief economist Michael Mandel gave long suffering publishers some hope by saying he believes there is a "media boom" coming in which marketers will reinvest in many of the traditional channels they've cut back. Other speakers weren't so sure. "I don't think print …

If there is one area suffering almost as much as print, it's events. While trade show revenue dropped 3.5 percent in 2008, it fell a whopping 20.1 percent through the first quarter of 2009, according to American Business Media. Reed Exhibitions (which operates independently of Reed Business Information), saw revenue and …

Recently, FOLIOmag.com did a story on Waukesha, Wisconsin-based enthusiast publisher Kalmbach Publishing Co. buying Cabin Life. It was a small deal, the type that pops up several times a week (or used to before M&A crashed along with everything else), yet it generated a volume of reads usually associated with stories …

Many years ago when I had the good fortune to work for Ziff-Davis, I read a quote from Bill Ziff about how publishing had changed. I've lost the quote but it went something like this: "It used to be that our business was run by enthusiastic eccentrics?people who worked and lived …

There's a disturbing trend that seems to be growing with publishing companies cutting staff. Not just the cutting (although that's certainly disturbing enough) but attempts to portray cuts as something other than what they really are. It happened earlier this year with Johnson Publishing, which denied making layoffs but required employees to …

The downturn in event revenue has been brutal for publishers who counted on their tradeshows and conferences to pick up the slide in print in 2009. Tradeshow revenue fell 18.5 percent in the fourth quarter of 2008 and is down about 10 percent through the first four months of 2009, according …

There have been plenty of bad (even egregious) examples of magazines looking to capitalize on big media stories for their own benefit (see ?The Ethics of Covering Heath Ledger,? "People Looks to Capitalize on Newman Death" et al). This one, however, is a good example of a niche magazine trying to capitalize …

The memo received by BNP Media staffers this week alerting them to 25 percent salary cuts for the foreseeable future includes a line that jumps off the page almost as much as that "25 percent" figure: "Minimum wage will be the floor for this reduction." It's a line that assures employees the …

The outlook for b-to-b advertising revenue for 2009 hasn?t been looking great. Earlier this month, American Business Media said the economic recession could force advertising revenue in the b-to-b space down 19 to 22 percent in 2009. That?s after revenues plunged 13.1 percent during the fourth quarter of 2008, leading to …
