Skift Take
This report is a snapshot of the media landscape and looks at how travel publishers are adjusting business strategies to meet these challenges -- and thrive.
Today we are launching the latest report in our Skift Trends Reports service, The State of Travel Media 2015.
In the age of on-demand, digital media, you might assume that anyone still relying on print was in deep trouble. That’s not the case, though, as that fat in-flight magazine you read on your last trip demonstrates. Not everyone is so lucky. For most, print is declining and online has proved to be a tough way to make a living.
The industry and consumption keep evolving though. Video is hot and offers healthy ad rates, but it’s expensive to produce well. Meanwhile, new venues for distribution like the Apple Watch and WhatsApp are emerging all the time. In this environment, it’s still possible to run a business, but it’s not easy.
This report examines how media companies are adapting to this landscape. Drawing on interviews with industry leaders from Afar, Matador and The New York Times as well as copious research, we look at who’s doing what and what’s working.
NOTE: We have moved away from the PDF format for reports; now you can read them in the new, online HTML5 responsive-design format. Check out an example here.
