Article Abstract:
Investment banking firm Veronis Suhler's annual report forecasts advertiser spending to reach $249 billion by 2004, led by the Internet. The survey predicts that overall spending will grow 8.6 percent per anum, having reached 9.1 percent in 1999. Growth for all segments - print, TV and radio and the Internet - is expected to be led by 25% growth in online advertising. Though Internet advertising spending is expected to be considerable, newspaper and radio advertising spending will rank one and two respectively. Though the Internet is expected to stimulate spending in all areas, publishers' losses will be offset by development of Web sites and portals and linkages to the new media. The aging population will benefit newspapers specifically since about 71% of people over the age of 35 read newspapers daily.
