TheMediaBriefing surveyed media executives in July of 2016 to learn what was top-of-mind heading into 2017. The report, “the state of media 2017,” is a substantial report that covers topics ranging from digital display advertising to memberships & paywalls to social media. As a sponsor of the report, Crowdynews had early access to the report and its findings.
With respect to social media, TheMediaBriefing respondents stated that they are more committed to using social media moving beyond “likes” and “shares” towards conversion activities such as email newsletter sign-up and registration. We highly recommend the report as it frames publisher fears and hopes for the coming year.
