E-tidningens attraktionskraft på annonsörerna : En flört eller början på ett varaktigt förhållande?

The technical development is advancing at high speed and now the turn has come for the traditional paper to digitalize into the so called e-paper. The newspaper industry has started to investigate the future possibilities of publishing the traditional newspapers on e-paper. Today’s newspapers are mostly financed by advertisement incomes, which makes the advertisers important players, who must be taken into consideration at an introduction of the e-paper. Since the e-paper does not exist as a finished product in the market today, in this essay we look into what kind of functions or services that can attract advertisers to the e-paper on the basis of the experiences made with the breakthrough of the web-newspapers. The study was carried out by interviewing advertising managers at five well known Swedish newspapers that have both a paper and a web edition. Our conclusions were that the e-paper is seen as a complement to the medias of today and must be able to offer something in addition to what is already offered by the medias today. Some characteristics/functions for example colour, sound and moving pictures have appeared as prerequisites or at least very important. If the readers are there, the advertisers will automatically be attracted to the e-paper to be where the readers are. Reduced print and distribution costs have been mentioned in articles as an important driving force for replacing the traditional newspaper with the e- paper. This driving force has not at all been cleared in this study. It will probably take at least 10 years before we have a functioning, profitable channel in the e- paper.
