Our new whitepaper reveals and analyzes the findings from the NewsWhip Content and Social Strategy survey across over 260 media professionals.Â
Changing algorithms, shifting distribution channels, fragmented audiences – there’s never been more uncertainty around how to succeed in the media industry.  The constant changes in both publishing and consumption have made for a general feeling of angst across content creators.Â
Publishers, brands, marketers and PRs alike are finding themselves on a precipice of innovation and evolution. But these digital and social innovations have also heralded a new era of opportunity for professionals who are ready to capitalize on change.
Publishing is moving more and more towards social-first and appealing to the audiences who live there. Social media users are now content producers themselves, and demand interaction with organizations and brands. In this new landscape, publishers are pushed to the limit to understand the interests of their audiences and tap into them at the right time, in the right medium, on the right platform.
That’s why NewsWhip conducted a survey across the entire media industry, to understand what’s working and help you see where you fit. The NewsWhip State of Content and Social Strategy 2016 whitepaper tells you how your peers in publishing, marketing and PR are dealing with the social changes that have rapidly unfolded in 2016.
Our survey asked over 260 news and publishing, marketing, and communications professionals about their biggest challenges, the most important skills for success, about their plans for the future, and more. The findings revealed distinct signals about what lies ahead and what to watch in the coming months.
