1.
In the Executive Summary, looking at paragraphs 4 and 5 the
overview identifies that: ‘today’s aggregate advertising expenditure and net
circulation figures equate to about half of their 2007 value.’ Bullet point why
you think this is the case.
2.
On page 7, the market structure is analysed using data provided
by the ABC. Who are the ABC and why is their data collection so important for
newspaper owners and advertisers?
3.
On pages 17-18, paragraph 2.14 the overview identifies the
circulation figures of Sunday newspapers. Thinking about your set products and
audience consumption, why do you think Sunday newspapers have traditionally
sold more copies that their daily counterparts?
4.
What are the leading broadsheet, tabloid and mid-market tabloids
in terms of circulation? What are their daily circulation figures?
5.
Think about The Guardian and the Daily Mail - describe their
position in the marketplace.
6.
The Guardian is ‘owned by the Scott Trust, a private company
whose core purpose is ‘to ensure the financial and editorial independence of
The Guardian.’ How can this be linked with the news values of the newspaper?
Summarise the folllowing links:

7.
In terms of digital distribution, what do you think has been
more important to the brand identity of national newspapers, the online website
or App mobile platforms? Why/How?
8.
A lack of ‘trust’ in newspapers is identified. Why do you think
this is? https://www.pressgazette.co.uk/survey-finds-that-uk-written-press-is-by-some-way-the-least-trusted-in-europe/
9.
Who is the offline and online regulator of the newspaper
industry and how effective do you think they are in ‘policing’ the industry?
(this was one of your assessment questions!)
10.
Look at the following timeline. What’s happened to advertising
revenues, why are they important? What other ways have the newspapers
industries found to survive? Give examples
