The global daily information market is a dynamic and rapidly evolving landscape, driven by the increasing demand for readily accessible, concise news and information updates. The market, estimated at $50 billion in 2025, is projected to experience a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 8% from 2025 to 2033, reaching approximately $95 billion by 2033. This growth is fueled by several key factors. The proliferation of smartphones and mobile internet access has made consuming news on-the-go significantly easier. The rise of social media platforms, while posing challenges to traditional news outlets, also provides new avenues for information dissemination and engagement, fostering a more interactive and personalized news experience. Further contributing to this expansion is the escalating demand for specialized content catering to niche interests, creating opportunities for both established and emerging news providers. However, the market also faces challenges, including concerns about misinformation and disinformation, the economic pressures faced by many news organizations, and the complexities of maintaining journalistic integrity in a highly competitive, rapidly changing digital environment. The market's segmentation reveals a diverse ecosystem of players. Traditional media giants like CNN, BBC, and The New York Times compete with digital-native platforms like Google News and Bloomberg News, as well as social media companies like Tencent and emerging aggregators such as The Daily Skimm. Regional variations exist, with North America and Europe likely holding the largest market shares, though the rise of digital platforms is facilitating market penetration in other regions. The strategic partnerships between different players, the adoption of innovative technologies like AI-powered content creation and personalization, and the evolving regulatory landscape will continue to shape the market's trajectory in the coming years. The future success within this space will depend on a company’s ability to adapt to technological advances, effectively combat misinformation, and establish a strong brand identity that resonates with their target audience.

Dataset resulting from media content analysis on how the adoption of a multi-platform outlook is affecting the diversity of content output in the UK. A comparison was made how the composition of media output has changed over time during the period 2013-2015, and how strategies have moved towards multi-platform delivery. Data for content analysis was collected from eleven case study media organisations across the newspaper and magazine publishing and broadcasting sectors. Media platforms include print, online and mobile. Data were gathered from publicly available online websites, broadcasting schedules, newspaper and magazine printed and digital editions. Coding and analysis was carried out of a sample of content outputs for selected case studies in the broadcasting, newspaper and magazine sectors in spring 2013, 2014 and 2015. The resulting dataset provides a basis for preliminary comparative analysis, across organisations, sectors of the media and time, of how the composition of media content outputs has changed while suppliers of media have migrated towards multi-platform delivery. This project considers aspects of transformations taking place in the media industry as a result of digital convergence and growth of the internet. The study ran from July 2012 to 2015 and was led by PI Professor Gillian Doyle with a team comprising Co-I Professor Philip Schlesinger and RA Dr Katherine Champion at CCPR, University of Glasgow. It set out to analyse the recent migration of media businesses towards diversified digital distribution and multi-platform growth strategies and the impact this has had on economic efficiency, the organisation of production, and on the nature and diversity of content. What challenges are faced by public policy? Using key a multiple case study approach, the investigation covered the following: economic opportunities and advantages created by multi-platform expansion the role of convergent digital technologies and the internet in encouraging such strategies the impact of multi-platform on production of media content and on diversity and pluralism implications for public policy and regulation. Data was collected from eight case study media organisations drawn from newspaper and magazine publishing and broadcasting. Selected content bundles (a newspaper/ magazine title or broadcasting channel) from case study organisations were explored which included two newspaper titles, The Financial Times and The Telegraph; three broadcast channels, BBC One, MTV, STV; and three magazine titles, Elle UK, T3 and NME. Three further case studies Total Film (Future Publishing), BBC Three and ITV (were added in phase two and phase three (conducted in springs 2014 and 2015) for reasons relating to the wider project, namely relating to issues around access for the collection of interview data. The analysis focused on the programme/ story-type diversity or the range of different shows or stories available. For the purposes of manageability, selected categories or genres of content were primarily focused on, for example ‘celebrity’ from Elle UK and ‘UK companies’ from The Financial Times. All content published, during the chosen periods/parameters, across selected platforms (print, online and mobile) was recorded in an excel spreadsheet. In order to categorise content within the print case studies, story type codes were ascribed. In print, a story value was ascribed linked to the length of the article and the presence or absence of particular features (for example photos or video). In relation to broadcasting, a programme value was attributed based on the length of the programme in the linear or on-demand transmission or in relation to the presence or absence of particular features on the ancillary website.
