ExchangeWire’s hotly-anticipated Industry Review will be published in January 2025, as we look at the top trends for a pivotal year for publishers of all sizes

How has the publishing world adapted to fragmented platforms, changing audience demands? As AI cuts a swathe through the industry, a split has emerged between those who want to license and those who want to litigate - which will be more productive? Can we reign in MFA sites? And does excessive regulation risk cutting off everyone except mainstream publications?

ExchangeWire position

At ExchangeWire we’re bullish on talking about ‘The New Publisher’. Historically publishers have not had it easy, and are forced to evolve probably more than any other member of the digital supply chain. To thrive, they must embrace bold strategies which prioritise innovation, diversification and audience-centricity. We’re seeing publishers break free from their reliance on traditional advertising models and exploring alternative revenue streams. Collaboration and partnerships are key here, and innovation happening in the tech space will work in the publishers’ favour.
