“The best and most influential reporters are becoming brand names”

Just a quick thought:

Journalists are embracing the tools of social media to create online personas. They are breaking free of the constraints of traditional media to blog and tweet everything from deep thoughts to random musings to personal information that was considered verboten not too many years ago.

Not everyone can be a one man media conglomerate, but reporters are encouraged by their editors to be more transparent and accessible to readers offering new opportunities for engagement. Brand name reporters are far more accessible than their counterparts in the era of old media. You now have multiple avenues to get to know the most important reporters covering your business. Keep track of their musings through various social media tools and connect with them when appropriate.

A reporter’s tweet can become an entry point for a conversation outside of the usual give-and-take dictated by a breaking news story.

A world without newspapers

Latest circulation data made available for portuguese newspapers reflect the global trend of declining sales. Finance editions increase number of copies though. Is it the crisis?

The Portuguese Circulation Control Association (APCT) revealed this week the circulation numbers regarding the first six months of the current year. Comparing to the same period last year, the picture is quite grim: most newspapers have decreased their sales, apart from the specialized financial editions that had a rise in demand. The overall drop in the portuguese market reaches the 7,6%.

The most notorious decrease in sales belongs to Diário de Notícias, that “stopped investing in promotional marketing last March, in a cost reduction strategy to face  the difficult economical moment  worldwide press is going through“.

Comparing the January/June window of ’08 with 2009′s, there were sold, in average, less  26 174 newspaper copies, daily.

Os últimos dados das tiragens de jornais portugueses  reflectem a tendência global de quebra nas vendas. As edições financeiras, no entanto, subiram o número de  exemplares. Será da crise?

A Associção Portuguesa de Controle de Tiragem (APCT) revelou esta semana os números referentes aos primeiros seis meses deste ano. Comparando com o mesmo período do ano passado, o quadro é bastante negro: a maioria dos jornais diminuiu as suas vendas, com excepção das publicações financeiras, que tiveram um aumento na procura. A quebra global do mercado português atinge os 7,6%.

A descida mais notória é a do Diário de Notícias, que “em Março deixou de investir em marketing promocional numa estratégia de redução de custos face ao difícil momento económico que está a afectar a imprensa a nível mundial“.

Relativamente ao período de Janeiro/Junho de 2008, em 2009 venderam-se, em média, menos 26 174 jornais por dia.
