How to survive an 'Internet drubbing' Can social startups make advertising more personal? Despite digital gains, newspaper revenues seen declining through 2017 Can native ads scale? Hearst thinks so One way to address the scale challenge of native advertising is to develop a variety of native ad formats and allow advertisers to pick and choose what suits them best. That's the approach Hearst is taking with its new portfolio of native ad solutions, which provide a variety of options for advertisers to commingle text, photos, video and social streams with editorial content across Hearst's websites.

This 55-page eBook will help publishers define the best disruptive revenue opportunities and the necessary technology investments to support them. Click here to read. Solving the mystery of 'dark social' referrals The Atlantic estimates that "dark social" - the stories passed on outside the social media super-structure - accounts for about one-quarter of all referrals to its sites.

They want it to inspire people. And they don't want it to feel like advertising. Is this even possible on the web? FULL ARTICLE - paidContent Despite digital gains, newspaper revenues seen declining through 2017 Despite the promise of online paywalls and gains in digital readers, newspapers' total revenue will continue to decline through at least 2017, according to the latest annual Global Entertainment and Media Outlook from PricewaterhouseCoopers.
