Analysis: via Telmar
22. 2 0
The market: The medium is in a state of flux as stations vie for audience and revenue. New regional stations will intensify
regional competition. The large number of community stations is yet to make a significant impact in listenership, research or
revenue. Listenership trend: audience fragmentation and fluctuation.

The Market: Traditionally each major urban centre has had its own set of competing English and/or Afrikaans dailies.
The last few years has seen the surge in popular journalism with the launch and massive success of Daily Sun.
Circulation trend: Long term, most of the larger English dailies experience softening long-term circulation while many
smaller niche titles are holding or increasing circulation.
Readership trend: The larger English dailies exhibit a Black readership in excess of 50%, blurring the editorial appeals
between ‘Black’ and ‘White’ categories.

The Market: SA has well over 400 main-stream consumer titles, most of which are small circulating and
highly niched. Churn of titles is high. The top five publishers totally dominate circulation and adspend.
Circulation trend: Depends on the category, but the average title is softening. The important Women’s
sector is remarkably resilient despite pressure from increasing number of options allied to consumers
reducing range of titles purchased.
Readership trend: Like circulation, generally softening. Most English, seemingly white editorial focus,
titles show significant, if not dominant, black readership.

The Market: SA has over 650 trade, technical and professional journals annuals, most of which
are small circulating and highly niched. Turnover of titles is high. The two big financial weeklies
together with Engineering News dominate adspend. Circulation trend: Pressure on printing and
distribution (ie, postage) costs forces professional publishers to continually weed out non-core
market circulation. This is partially responsible for softening circulations over the long term.
