2017 Publishing Year in Review

Introduction

As is customary for the FTI Consulting Publishing + Digital Media Practice, we reflect on the trends we saw this year, and what we may expect for next. Because we rely on our partnerships with you as much as you rely on FTI Consulting, we take this opportunity to share with you our reflections on 2017 and our expectations for 2018. Looking back at 2017, we could see that both magazines and newspapers recognized that diversifying revenue is essential. And products and channels which we once thought could contribute or even lead revenue diversity, have failed to live up to expectations. A key theme for 2018 will be how to use consumer data as a catalyst for revenue growth.
