First of all, here are a few statistics that might convince you
that print media is still important: 70% of households with an income
above $100,000 are newspaper readers, 95% of people under 25
years old read magazines, print readers usually spend 20 minutes or
more with their publication in hand, while a typical visitor to a digital
news site sticks around for less than five minutes…
Second, print media presents plenty of benefits. Remarkably,
trust and digital fatigue keep print alive. Consumers perceive
traditional media channels as more trustworthy than online media.
With the worry of fake news and how quickly things are posted and
shared online, people find it harder to trust what they read digitally. In
addition, print media is tangible. Print offers an experience for the
senses that the web can’t match. You can smell ink and feel paper. A
consumer takes a brochure with them and don’t need Wi-Fi to access
the information.
Third, some have speculated that later generations will not
have this “instinct” to trust print over digital and hypothesize this will
lead to a decline in print. However, studies don’t support this
projection. In fact, a study found 92% of 18 to 23 year olds find it
easier to read print over digital. It seems digital fatigue is affecting all
generations. Added to this, print media is relatable. Not everyone uses
the Internet as their top information source. And not every target
audience came of age in the digital era.
