“Advertising alone cannot fix this problem, but we can be part of the solution.” – Lou Paskalis
The United States has lost over 2,500 newspapers since 2005. Those that remain have endured significant staff layoffs and budget cuts. This makes the work of local radio and television newsrooms even more critical as they cover major weather events, uncover corruption, and advocate for consumers.
The challenge? News is expensive to produce, sometimes accounting for a quarter of a station’s total budget, and broadcasters need ad revenue to meet that budget.
Join us at Forecast 2024 for what is sure to be a provocative presentation by Lou Paskalis, CEO and Founder of AJL Advisory and Chief Strategy Officer of Ad Fontes Media. Sponsored by Skyview Networks, The News Is the News shines a spotlight on the problems faced by local media and the role of advertisers in supporting news.
