Newspaper advertising has always been and still is the first choice of advertising that businesses think of doing. This is because the print sector has been around longer than any other kind of media advertising we see today. Moreover, advertisers can run their ads in sections of the newspaper that will closely relate to their target audience.
The print industry witnessed a decline in ad revenues during the pandemic, but it gradually saw a resurgence in 2020. The market of English newspapers across India saw an increase in ad revenue that is around 63 billion Indian rupees in 2020. This figure is estimated to grow up to 80 billion rupees by 2024, which indicates a steady growth of the newspaper sector.
