When you have a brand with such strong brand recognition in one area, it is tough to think about that brand in any other context. Newspaper, as a brand, is one of those incredibly strong brands. The name itself connotes “paper” so it is tough for many advertisers to recognize newspaper media in it’s various forms. Today, I’d like to talk to you about the value of newspaper media for advertising in the digital space.
The value of newspaper media really begins with you. We want to understand your challenges and opportunities and discuss how we can help. “it’s value begins with you” It has been our experience from working with advertisers in a lot of different businesses that you are facing some unique challenges and pressures today. And we think you’ll be surprised at how well the newspaper media can help you address these challenges.
Doesn’t it feel like this sometimes? Clearly, business as usual for advertisers won’t cut it. As it’s been said and written many times in recent years, it’s a brave new world for advertisers requiring a new course of action to survive and prosper through this perfect storm.
We live in a blinding world of clutter. Some specifics on channel proliferation over the last 25 years; When you see a number like 50 million internet sites (and that could be a low estimate) it is almost impossible to get your arms around the advertising challenge you face. To look at that in another way. Let’s say you are considering placing advertising for a typical consumer item. How many choices might you need to consider?
If you wanted to advertise Dog Yarmulkes, for example, a simple Google search turns up over 20 thousand choices. How do you decide. A search for something slightly more common, say, New York Weather produces 85 million listings. Which sites are right for your advertising?
Which websites should you choose for your advertising online?
The value of newspaper digital media to an advertiser is that newspaper is the trusted local connection to an attractive audience. Newspaper media offers advertisers what I will refer to as the 4 C’s. A unique combination of attributes that advertisers value in choosing from digital alternatives. Community Connection It’s all about local Content relevance Customized targeting Consumer activation
What we are talking about here is the value of local to advertisers. Real local and not just virtual local.

No other digital offering can achieve all three
The Washington Post’s new LoudonExtra is a great example of how even a large metropolitan newspapers can engage consumers at the “hyper-local” level with deep community information from journalists and users.
The Cincinnati Enquirer offers quality and up-to-date community-level information for more than 200 neighborhoods in the Cincinnati metropolitan area.
One of the reasons for the amazing growth of consumer use of newspaper websites is the value people place on local content. It is no wonder that nearly 40% of all active internet users visit a newspaper website.
As an indication of the value consumers place on local content the fact that viewership of newspaper sites is growing at a pace double the net in general suggests that consumers trust and value content local to them.
Bakersfield is an example of many newspapers that are providing interactive features for very local information, such as maps of open houses, street construction, crime, political contributions block by block and more.
Many newspapers have built local search capabilities, integrating local business listings, classified advertising and other databases, to give consumers access to a broad array of information on local shopping and services.
And when it comes to local content, viewers in local markets turn first to newspaper sites in most markets.
Another way that newspapers are connecting at the community level is by opening up their Web sites to user comments and reviews. The introduction of user-generated content has increased loyalty and frequency of use to newspaper Web sites.
Another way that newspapers are connecting is with the introduction of video to their sites, with both staff-created news and entertainment information and user contributed video. More than 90% of the top 100 U.S. newspapers now offer video applications.
It is not just the viewer who recognizes the value and importance of local content. Look at all the portals wanting to be newspapers new best friends.
Here’s one example of how newspapers are co-branding their Yahoo! Hotjobs relationship, which includes co-promotion at both the local and national level.
Newspapers are also partnering with traditional competitors, such as local TV stations, in relationships that help extend the brand and assets of each media player.
Visitors who come to newspaper sites seek out all sorts of local information and their interest in local information greatly exceeds that interest in non- users
When you ask people what sites they turn to for local information, newspaper sites typically outperform other local sites and stay on par with the portals
As newspapers meet consumer demand by adding content features such as blogs the reliance on the part of visitors has also increased with traffic increases to newspaper blogs up 200%
Most of the top 100 newspapers offer blogs from staff, local citizens or both. Blogs give citizens a voice in a trusted media environment and helps the newspaper both engage more users in the product and extend the local information they’re able to provide.
With all the choices online visitors have it has become increasingly valuable to have content, real content that a viewer can rely upon. And advertising on trusted sites tends to have the rub off affect of trust as well.
When your audience goes to a site for content as opposed to tech applications such as mail, the viewing playing filed between local online content providers/ newspapers levels with the portals.
Engaging content online means more effectiveness and involvement for your advertising. Would you rather have your online ad sitting on a page or working to get you better results and incremental traffic?
The Web has turned newspapers back into a breaking news medium and continual updates to newspaper sites along with RSS feeds and e-mail alerts have trained consumers to visit newspaper Web sites for up to date information they can trust.
That relevant content is also increasingly coming in multimedia formats, such as the Miami Herald’s “What the 5,” a weekday videocast highlighting the top 5 most talked about stories of the day, with links to stories, videos, quizzes and other interactive feature, including content submitted by users
The newspaper media brand means trusted content to most adults so it is no surprise that newspapers are the most trusted source of information.
Providing readers with access to deep databases of information – such government employee compensation information or property assessments – enhances the newspaper’s reputation as THE source for comprehensive, local information. And it has proven to be a great traffic driver for newspapers as well.
No other local medium has the resources to provide the depth of coverage – in print and online – on local news and information.
Newspapers are providing extensive vertical sites devoted to home-town professional and college teams, and in some markets, prep sports as well. Consumers value the coverage and analysis the comes from an independent source like the local newspaper.
When viewers go to a newspaper sites for information related to entertainment, research shows that these viewers are more likely to look for travel information than those who go to other sites, more likely to check movie information, theater information and event calendars all of which plays to the notion of local and trusted content is what viewers desire.
Newspapers are also creating extensive entertainment sites that cover the full range of activities in the local market, complete with events databases, professional and user reviews and recommendations and other information that only a local media franchise could provide.
Some markets are also rolling out social networking sites for young adults that provide a compelling online community for sharing information, music, opinions and for meeting others in that market.
Newspapers are extending their business coverage online providing the most comprehensive coverage of local business developments.
Major advertisers of all sorts are recognizing the value of newspaper digital media and are utilizing newspaper websites to meet their advertising challenges.
The big buzz in digital media is about geo targeting. Newspaper websites are capable of delivering customized, targeted messaging on a local basis. Most advertiser would agree that geo targeting is more effective with real local vs. virtual local. Some portals can offer geo targeting which means advertising on e-mail or national content pages to a zip code while newspaper websites can position the inventory on real local content.
And the newspaper website reader is an attractive audience. Their mean age is 38, and they have a household income of $70K. 54% have college degrees And they’re very active online…shopping, buying, and banking. Surprised? MORI power user study just released profiles the impressive demography of newspaper website users. Think about what it adds to your print package.

The Rochester Democrat and Chronicle is targeting men with aggregated content around sports, cars, business, fatherhood and other manly pursuits.
In Naples, and many other markets, newspapers are capitalizing on the passion for prep sports by creating multimedia enriched sites, with game videos, commentary, player profiles, schedules and more. Again, only a local newspaper could provide the depth of coverage for high school sports.
When advertisers look for holes in their media plan it quite often shows up in during the work day for employed individuals. Newspaper sites help fill this daypart void by appealing to the at work crowd.
Increasingly, newspapers are transitioning to 24/7 operations, updating their Web sites throughout the day with the latest, relevant information.

No matter what time of day you engage, the addition of newspaper online advertising enhances your newspaper print reach.
The bottom line is that the value of newspaper digital media is in the C’s
