A 2018 study by the University of Oxford found one-third or 32 percent of nationwide news outlets in 33 markets charged for online news already. In some markets such as in Northern Europe up to 30 percent of adults paid for online news in the last year.
Deloitte Global predicts that by the end of 2018, half or 50 percent of adults in developed countries will have at least two online-only media subscriptions that include access to premium video, audio or news, and by the end of 2020, that average will have doubled to four.
As print advertising weakens, digital advertising is increasingly dominated by a few tech companies such as Google and Facebook, and newsprint prices soar, India also is gearing up to build loyalty to its new products and hence, building alternate revenue streams by charging the consumers. India has started to explore the charging of consumers for content.
While the Indian media market begins to introduce payments for mass-market news, the forward-looking publishers are following closely developments in the West, and they are exploring opportunities in integrating consumer revenue into their businesses in the future.
With its Readers First initiative, the International News Media Association (INMA) is studying the shift to reader revenue worldwide, collecting the best practices and benchmarks, and providing an evidence-based advice to publishers, editors, and technical heads on how to best prepare to the age of a reader as a customer.
