Guardian CEO outlines digital future of news and media industry

Speaking at the Guardian Media Network's Future of Digital Media event, held in conjunction with the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Scotland (ICAS), Andrew Miller said that the yield on digital was still "way, way lower than newspaper". "Digital is fantastic, [with] fantastic opportunities, but only 30% of our revenues come from digital format. So, to say we can sustain a business for a long time with a high level of journalists with this mix of revenue is very, very difficult.

" Miller stressed the importance of GMG's assets other than the newspaper in ensuring its survival. "Critically, our way of surviving is [that] we've assets outside of the Guardian," he said. "We have a loss-making core newspaper, but it's subsidised by other assets we can draw on when we need to. " "There's a positive side, which is trying monetise the audience," Miller said.

On The Decline Of Magazines

In only the past few days I've read two articles that pronounce the 'death' of marketing (only to then go on to explain how marketing is still very much alive, albeit changing. *Sigh*). So it is not without some disheartenment that I read articles about the troubles of a medium which is close to my heart: magazines. David Carr's piece in the New York Times focuses on the difficulties at Newsweek but makes a broader point about how magazines, like newspapers, have been in a steady slide that has now brought them to "the edge of a cliff". Last week's ABC release revealed hefty declines in US newstand circulation across just about every major magazine category: "When 10 percent of your retail buyers depart over the course of a year, something fundamental is at work".
