Summary
This is the second report from DistriPress in 2022.
The first report, “Data-Driven Supply in Newspapers & Magazines”, looked at how data is being used to drive new business opportunities, as traditional supply chains rapidly morph into data networks. Data is changing everything. Whilst it is closing down old ways of doing things, it is opening up new activities and business services. This second report takes a step back to look at the global future for the distribution of Newspapers & Magazines (N&M). It is based on a range of research sources, as well as a survey of DistriPress members undertaken in July 2022. This generated a high 31% response rate across all types of DistriPress membership, from 26 countries in every region.

Summary
As the traditional Newspaper & Magazine (N&M) supply chain has
become more complex and is under more pressure than ever, the role
and power of data has become critical for every player in the content
pipeline.

Summary
It takes a bigger and broader look at the media world we are all navigating: a world that is fragmenting and becoming more complex. Morphing publisher business models; a more complex consumer; shifting distribution channels: all these factors are combining to create new challenges that are detailed in this new report.

Summary
As a result of the radical changes taking place globally, the Distripress programme of insight and research has been made more dynamic and interactive under the Connections theme, with two major reports.

This first report, Reconnecting the World of Distribution, is a Distripress member-focused update, as the industry restructures and reconnects, whilst lockdowns start to ease and business model diversification accelerates.
