"Print is dead" was a common refrain a couple of years ago. The costly print advertisements that kept magazines and newspapers alive were migrating to the web, where they earned only pennies on the dollar. To publishers, it felt as if a hurricane was flattening their business. But as the storm has cleared, a new publishing landscape has emerged. What was once a fairly uniform business—identify a group of people united by some shared identity or passion, write stories for them to read and sell advertising next to the stories has split into several different kinds.
Hard news is perhaps the hardest to make profitable. It is increasingly instant, constant and commoditized. With rare exceptions, making money in news means publishing either the cheap kind that attracts a very large audience, and making money from ads, or the expensive kind that is critical to a small audience, and making money from subscriptions. Both are cutthroat businesses; in rich countries, many papers are closing. But among magazines there is a new sense of optimism. The Association of Magazine Media reports that magazine audiences are growing faster than those for TV or newspapers, especially among the young.
Unlike newspapers, most magazines didn’t have large classified-ad sections to lose to the internet, and their material has a longer shelf life. Above all, says David Carey, the boss of Hearst Magazines, they represent aspirations: "they do a very good job of inspiring your dreams". People identify closely with the magazines they read, and advertisers therefore love them: magazines remain essential for brand-building.
Once, digital ads would have been scant comfort. On the web they are typically worth a small fraction of what they were in print. But tablets, such as Apple’s iPad, could change this. They have been around for only two years and most magazine subscriptions on them for less than a year; the MPA suggested measurement standards for advertising on tablets only in April. Yet already there are signs that advertisers are accepting higher rates on tablets than on the web, because magazines on tablets are more like magazines in print; engrossing, well-designed experiences instead of forests of texts and links.
But the wiser publishers are finding ways to rely less on advertising. They are looking to make more not only from subscriptions but also from other sources. Spurred by necessity and enabled by technology, magazines innovate in ways they never dreamed of a few years ago.
What else a magazine can do besides sell copies depends on its audience and subject matter. Many are turning themselves from mere carriers of ads into marketing-services companies, giving their advertisers a range of new ways to reach readers. Travel magazines’ websites can track if their readers end up buying the holiday packages they write about, and take a cut. "I count that as advertising," says Mr Kallen, a large German publisher. "What many people call advertising…is definitely declining, but advertising in the broader sense isn’t. "
"Travel magazines’ websites" is mentioned to exemplify that magazines are______.
选项
A、adopting new ways to attract readers
B、adapting their subject matter to the market
C、broadening their services to advertisers
D、reducing their dependence on advertisements
答案
C
解析
根据题干关键名词Travel magazines’websites定位到第六段。该段指出,许多杂志正将自己从纯粹的广告载体转变为营销服务公司,为广告商提供更多的影响读者的途径。接着便举出实例:旅行杂志网站追踪杂志读者的旅游购买行为并从中获利。由此可知,作者之所以举此事例,是为了说明前一句内容,[C]选项正确。
