"Advertising, as is clear by now, is contracting. Spending dropped 2.9 percent in 2008, to $210 billion. For 2009, Veronis Suhler expects advertising to end up declining 7.6 percent, with a 1 percent decline to follow in 2010. Advertising will again grow in 2011, the firm projects. The segments where advertising will decline most rapidly in 2009, according to the firm’s estimates, are newspapers (down 18.7 percent, to $35.5 billion); consumer magazines (down 14.8 percent, to $11 billion); radio (down 11.7 percent, to $15.8 billion); and broadcast television (down 10.1 percent, to $43.0 billion). Veronis Suhler expects a few sectors to increase their advertising dollars this year, including mobile (up 18.1 percent, to $1.3 billion) and the Internet (up 9.2 percent, to $23.8 billion)." - Derek Lerner
