Interesting reading in this week’s Publishing Futures report from the PPA which shows that print still makes up 78% of revenues at consumer magazines. While it seems this figure is set to drop to 71% in two years’ time, that’s still a sizeable chunk of revenue and good news for both the publishing and print industry.

That has to be good news since it gives the consumer more reliable results and saves on the time taken to find the good quality content we are all looking for – let’s face it, nobody’s looking for crap results.

The International Broadcasting Convention, or IBC as we all know and love it, will soon be upon us again. Registration is already open for the September event in Amsterdam, the conference programme has been outlined and keynote speakers have been identified. If you haven't started your preparations already, you probably should have. To inspire you all the team at Babel have reviewed the media attention paid to television technologies over the past twelve months and identified the countries and companies generating the most coverage, the journalists responsible and the analysts they most often quote. You can find the results here. It's not the whole picture but it's useful guidance for your planning and obviously, if you need a little help, we'd love to provide support.
