2020 is underway. Budgets have been established. Strategies have been mapped. And now publishers are pushing forward on what most of them tell us will be a good year for an industry that’s had its share of ups and downs over the past decade. As the sector continues to diversify and transform at a rapid pace, we felt it was important to get a quantitative and qualitative sense of where things are heading, exactly where companies are investing and what their outlook is for the overall health of their businesses this year. We began this exploration with a survey of our readership, and culled a representative sample of 182 industry professionals from various company types, including mass and niche consumer, B2B and regional publishers.
