This is the 35th consecutive quarter of decline for the sector, with growth last recorded in Q2 2005.

Adspend in regional newsbrands performed ahead of expectations in Q2 2014, according to the latest data from the Advertising Association/Warc Expenditure Report . Even so, newsbrands – inclusive of both print and digital newspaper platforms – still recorded a decline of 1.7% compared with the same period in 2013, despite a 27.9% increase for their digital revenues (to £44m). While growth for digital has gained significant pace in the last three quarters, it has still not been enough to offset the decline in print adspend (this dropped 5.2% to £280m in the latest quarter). But could the regional newsbrands be on the cusp of growth after a difficult decade?

During the next two years, total UK advertising expenditure is forecast to accelerate way beyond levels recorded prior to the financial crisis, according to the latest data from the Advertising Association/Warc Expenditure Report released last week. This is no small feat, as the recession in 2008/9 was the sharpest since the AA/Warc began collecting quarterly adspend data back in 1982.
