2013: Reduction of state subsidies of doy media

Until 2013, most European newspapers did not need to think about tough budget cuts, fear bankruptcy, or even look for new sources of income on the Internet - that is, take care of everything that oppressed the newspaper industry in the United States. In one France newspaper, in 2012, 800 million euros of subsidies and tax benefits from the government were received. Crisis Greece supported about 70 newspapers that lived primarily from the advertising budgets of state-owned companies.

In 2013, that system is collapsing - especially in southern Europe, where countries are facing a particularly tough financial crisis. Subsidies have fallen victim to fiscal austerity, and the print advertising market loses at least 10% annually. The popular French La Tribune became weekly, and the owner of the leading Spanish El Pais is close to bankruptcy. Dozens of publications in Spain and Greece ceased to exist.

In Italy, the print advertising market in 2012 decreased to the level of 20 years ago, and state contributions decreased by 60% compared to 2006; local newspaper circulation has decreased over the past five years by 22%. The local RCS Mediagroup, the owner of the daily Corriere della Sera, was on the verge of bankruptcy in 2012, losses amounted to almost 500 million euros. Its circulation has decreased by 20% over five years. According to Oxford University, only 5% of newspaper readers in Italy have a personal, not employer-paid, print subscription, and in the United States there are 25%.

Corriere della Sera has an outdated site, it does not sell a subscription to the Internet version. Some of the newspaper's employees do not like the development of the site, only in 2012 the journalists finally agreed to write for the online version. In April, RCS CEO Pietro Scott Giovane presented to shareholders a plan to increase online revenue: partnerships with online stores, special thematic pages, etc. But this is no longer enough for shareholders. "We want to see a serious plan that provides the company with the future," Diego della Valle, a shareholder in RCS, said in a statement.

In Italy, there is little Internet penetration - 37% of Italians have never used the Internet (in Europe, on average, 22%), this is a unique situation for publishers, says Donatella Treu, CEO of the daily business Il Sole 24 Ore: "If publishers in other countries can compensate for the drop in circulation and print advertising at the expense of the Internet, then we are not." Il Sole 24 Ore became the first Italian newspaper to introduce paid access to material on the network, but did not get out of the losses.

In France, newspaper circulation in the previous four years fell by a third, and subsidies by 2015 should decrease by 29% compared to 2010. Le Monde only in 2012 began to combine offline and online editorial offices (the newspaper's website was managed by a separate company with other owners), after a group of investors acquired a controlling stake in the publication. The newspaper now has 120,000 paid subscribers.

Le Figaro offers both paid and free access to the site, the number of subscribers to the "print newspaper plus Internet version" package in 2012 rose to 70,000.

Newspaper revenues have also declined in prosperous Germany - but by only 10% since 2008. Two-thirds of German adults regularly read the paper press, and still many publications - primarily those that do not receive state assistance - require payment for access to the site.

Axel Springer, the largest newspaper publisher in Germany, has Internet revenues in 2012 for the first time exceeded the revenue from paper publications in the country. Due to this, the company showed a record profit[1] Hard times have[1].
