Newspaper advertising spending has improved in the year 2002 in the US, especially in the smaller markets. However, expenses in the future are expected to be higher. Investors must be selective with stocks in this sector.

The US newspaper industry is expected to have improved advertising spending in the year 2002 after a a poor year in 2001. Deregulation and a rise in expenditures are other industry trends to watch. Investors need to be selective when evaluating these stocks.

The advertising market for US newspapers remains weak in the first half of the year 2002, but is expected to improve in the 2nd half of the year. Newsprint consumption and prices have also dropped, thus helping newspapers cut costs. These stocks, however, are not cheap for investors.

Stocks of the newspaper industry have plummeted in late 2001 with the decline in advertising revenues and newspaper earnings. However, lower newsprint costs and slightly better circulation numbers are positive for this sector. These stocks are not timely for investors in 2001 and 2002.

Advertising sales for newspaper have declined in 2001, an indicator of the softer US economy. This is expected to continue through 2002 and merchants may continue using preprinted ad inserts. These stocks are not timely for 2001.

Newspaper earnings have not grown as both retail and classified advertising have been week during the year 2001. The industry has also become cost conscience in order to protect profit margins. There are few stocks of interest to investors in this sector.

Stocks in the newspaper industry have regained the ground they lost in the year 2000 and are performing better in 2001. Business conditions for the industry have become tighter and retail advertisers are more wary, as well, putting pressure on margins. There are several good stocks in this industry for the next three to five years.

Stocks in the newspaper industry have fallen early in the year 2000, although the fundamentals for the industry have remained positive except at TV station operations. Rising newsprint costs, slow advertising sales, and attracting new readers remain problems, however. Investors should avoid these stocks for the year 2000.

Progress has been steady for the newspaper ad market in 1999 which is in better condition at the end of the year than at the beginning for both retail and classified ads. Newspapers have also responded well to competing media such as the Internet, pricing is better, as is circulation, and the cost of newsprint has also lowered during the year. These shares are expected to be strong in the year 2000 and investors should seek quality issues.

Consolidation in the retail industry and other factors have had a major impact on newspaper advertising linage in the 1990's and newspapers have had to adapt in response to changes in the market. There has also been increased competition to newspaper reading from television and other media, such as the Internet, in the US. The newspaper business seems to be in good shape for 1999 and the year 2000, but there are few bargain stocks in this industry.

Newspaper publishing in the US has had to adapt to a new economic order in the 1990's, as many advertisers have restructured their operations and ad-linage sales have not fully recovered since 1991. New media, such as the Internet, has also eroded ad space in newspapers, but cash flow is helping the industry retain a good bottom line and earnings, and eased newsprint costs and other factors are helping, also. These stocks are expected to perform with the market in the next twelve months, and there are new bargains in this industry.
