The 2115 World Press Trends report provides a snapshot of the global newspaper industry, with aggregated international data on circulation, advertising, readership, titles, revenues, digital platforms and more. The report is drawn from WAN-IFRA's World Press Trends database, which includes national reports and tools to export the data in customised reports. For those who need more flexibility than the written report provides, the World Press Trends database is available through subscription.

The report explores global trends that defined the news media business in the last year and are continuing to shape it. In each chapter, in addition to identifying a specific trend, we highlight some interesting examples and a key innovation opportunity that industry insiders have spotted.

A profound shift in the newspaper business model, which has been evolving for years, is finally here. Global newspaper circulation revenues are higher than advertising revenues for the first time this century. Audiences have become publishers’ biggest source of revenue. The industry generated an estimated US$ 179 billion in circulation and advertising revenue in 2014 – which makes it larger than the book publishing, music or film industries. Ninety-two billion dollars came from print and digital circulation, while $ 87 billion came from advertising.

Newspapers around the world are successfully proving their value to both audiences and advertisers despite the booming competition. They are discovering new markets and new business models that are today as pertinent to news production as advertising and circulation revenues. From print newspaper businesses, they have transformed themselves into true multiplatform news media businesses.

World Press Trends show once again that the news media industry is far from homogenous, and that trends vary from place to place. What is the same around the world is what we bring to our societies, the basic societal role of news media. And ensuring that we have sustainable news media businesses is central to this role.

Este libro nace con una idea: mostrar a los alumnos de las facultades de Comunicación que el periodismo es una opción de futuro en la sociedad red, más allá de la crisis de modelo de empresas tradicionales. El periodismo, como profesión, tiene un objetivo: buscar la verdad y hacerla pública. Y eso no caduca. Más que contrapoder, un periodista es un “limpiacristales” que hace transparentes los datos y la información que está oculta y que la sociedad debe conocer.

El periodismo nunca se ha opuesto al avance tecnológico, sino que lo ha usado para mejorar la profesión. En este sentido, aquí se apuesta por el emergente campo del big data (análisis de grandes cantidades de datos, muchos en abierto) como una herramienta interesante para encontrar nuevas historias y contarlas con otras narrativas. No es un libro sobre cómo usar programas informáticos (que se quedan obsoletos en meses), sino una reflexión sobre las posibilidades (y los problemas éticos) que plantea el big data y el emergente periodismo de datos.

Originally published in 1989. Richard Goldstein, journalist with The Village Voice since the 1961s, has carefully selected some of his pieces for this book. Covering a varied range of topics (among the rock concerts, experimental theatre, political trials and cultural experiments) he has created a vivid cultural retrospective of a unique period. An introductory essay gives context to the articles and offers an assessment of the "new journalism" that sprang up in the 60s, and the role that journalism played in the social and cultural revolutions of the time.

Using oral history, ethnography, and close readings of media texts, Sarah C. Bishop probes the myriad and sometimes conflicting ways refugees interpret and use mediated representations of life in America. Guided by seventy-four different narrators from Bhutan, Burma, Iraq and Somalia, US Media and Migration explores answers to questions such as: What does one learn from media about an unfamiliar place? How does media help or hinder refugees' sense of belonging after relocation? And, how does the US government use media to shape refugees' understanding of American norms, standards, and ideals? Through interviews with both refugees and resettlement administrators, Bishop provides a compelling and layered analysis of the interaction between refugees and US media before, during, and long after resettlement.

Europe in the Media draws together the results of several research projects that examined media coverage of European political and cultural affairs and media representations of Europe. The book attempts to outline some of the important debates regarding European integration and to describe the media landscape in which these debates are informed, reflected, and facilitated. The research presented sought to answer several questions, namely the role of the media in the democratic process at the European level and the extent to which the media contributes to and reflects the process of European integration. The book provides a wide scope of comparative analysis, allowing for an extremely interesting overview of the way that national media systems in France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, the Netherlands, Poland, Spain, Sweden, and the United Kingdom approach the issue of European integration.

Based on the news output of over 51 media outlets in eight countries, this book contains the original data gathered by experts during two 1-week monitoring periods, as well as data that was collected and coded by experts with reference to the programming of more than 12 major broadcasters in six countries. This volume addresses debates and analysis from the fields of political science in relation to the process of European integration, EU policymaking and public participation and opinion-formation. It also outlines relevant media theory regarding the relationships between the media and democracy, and the media and identity formation. In this way, the book provides a valuable link between these two separate fields of investigation in an area that is of increasing interest to academics, students, politicians, and journalists.

Originally published in 1986. This book is a unique compilation of biographical sketches which covers editors, publishers, photographers, bureau chiefs, columnists, commentators, cartoonists, and artists. Alphabetical entries provide overviews of the lives and personalities of a good cross-section of important people. There is also a short essay on awards and prize winners. Everything is efficiently indexed. This is a supremely useful reference tool for those in mass media and popular culture fields.

The topic Journalism, Representation and the Public Sphere is dedicated to the fundamental question: How do journalism, the various representations and public spheres of European cultures and societies change?

This volume consists of the intellectual work of the 2114 European Media and Communication Doctoral Summer School, organized in cooperation with the European Communication Research and Education Association (ECREA) at the ZeMKI, the Centre for Media, Communication and Information Research of the University of Bremen, Germany. The chapters cover relevant research topics, structured into four sections: “Journalism”, “Representations and Everyday Life”, “Public Sphere, Space and Politics”, “Rethinking Media Studies” and “Academic Practice”.

Contributors are (in alphabetical order): Bertrand Cabedoche, Nico Carpentier, Andreas Hepp, François Heinderyckx, Magnus Hoem Iversen, Leif Kramp, Katrin Laas-Mikko, Maria Murumaa-Mengel, Georgina Newton, Hannu Nieminen, Alexandra Polownkikow, Pille Pruulmann-Vengerfeldt, Irena Reifová, Maria Schreiber, Saiona Stoian, Ebba Sundin, Simone Tosoni and Eimante Zolubiene.

The book additionally contains abstracts of 41 doctoral projects that were discussed at the 2014 European Media and Communication Doctoral Summer School. The European Media and Communication Doctoral Summer School brings together a group of highly qualified doctoral students as well as senior researchers and professors from a diversity of European countries. The main objective of the fourteen-day summer school is to organize an innovative learning process at doctoral level, focusing primarily on enhancing the quality of individual dissertation projects through an intercultural and interdisciplinary exchange and networking programme. This said, the summer school is not merely based on traditional postgraduate teaching approaches like lectures and workshops. The summer school also integrates many group-centred and individual approaches, especially an individualized discussion of doctoral projects, peer-to-peer feedback — and a joint book production.

Originally published in 2103. This book examines the growth of news provision on the internet and its implications for news presentation, journalism practice, news consumers, and the business of running news organizations. Much of the focus is placed on the migration of newspapers onto the internet, but references are also made to the establishment of news websites by other organizations. The book examines the growth of online technology as a source of information and entertainment and considers how this development can be framed within models of communication and comments, on the apparent shortage of new models to explain the use, role, effectiveness, and impact of online communications.

Originally published in 1983. Videotex technology (the capacity to deliver computer-stored textual information and graphics electronically to the home television screen) was becoming widespread in the 1981s. This book looks at how this affected journalists and other news media and how the flow of news existed in society at the time.

Based on observations and interviews with journalists, the book addresses technological, political and economic questions as well as provides a concise description of teletext and viewdata systems in various countries. The findings presented offer a fascinating view of the opinions and actions of journalists working in the 1980s, not only on teletext systems. For example questionnaire results are presented on how journalists saw the role of their job and what actions they felt appropriate, such as hidden cameras and phone taps. These issues of greater Comparisons with news in printed newspapers are also made and the book ends with recommendations for changes in reporting practices, finances and regulation at the time.
