 Advertisement Evaluation Methods

Communication Effect Research:

• Direct Rating Method:

Consumers are asked directly to score the advertisement on a number of different Ciera,
including persuasiveness, clarity, appeal, and relevancy. Ratings can be catered online via
feedback are then demands, and surveys. The impact and Efficacy of the advertisement are
then determined by quantifying and analyzing these ratings.

• Laboratory Test:

Using this technique, consumers' physiological responses to the advertisement are monitored.
It is possible to track physiological parameters like heart rate, blood pressure, skin
conductance, and even brain activity. These answers shed important light on the ad's
effectiveness by assisting in the understanding of the audience's emotional and subconscious
reactions to it.

Sales Effect Research:

• The sales figures or performance metrics of the company after the ad campaign are
examined in order to assess the effectiveness of the advertisement. This could entail
analysing sales data prior to and following the campaign or linking particular sales peaks to
the release or airing of the advertisement. To directly connect sales to the advertisement,
other methods that may be employed include questionnaires, product surveys, toll-free
numbers, and response rates.

Analysis Tools:

• Using web analytics software to monitor customer visits, page views, dwell time, and post-
ad conversion rates. This measures the impact of the advertisement on online sales or
conversions and aids in understanding how the advertisement affects online user behavior. It
also identifies the most popular sections of the website following exposure to the
advertisement.

Integrated Direct Marketing

• Customers can post comments, reviews, or opinions about the advertised good or service in
response corners or feedback sections created on websites by integrated direct marketing
tools. Understanding consumer attitudes, preferences, and the success of the advertising
campaign are all made easier with the help of this real-time feedback.

Whether assessing direct customer responses, measuring physiological reactions, correlating

sales data, analyzing online user behavior, or gathering real-time customer feedback, each of
these techniques offers a different viewpoint on assessing advertisements. Combining these
methods frequently yields a thorough understanding of the influence and efficacy of an
advertisement in a variety of contexts

 MEDIA RESEARCH
TOPIC: Job Opportunity in Print Media

In the wake of the digital revolution, the landscape of job opportunities in print media has undergone
a profound metamorphosis, presenting a dynamic and evolving terrain for professionals entering the
field. The traditional bastion of newsprint and magazines is now juxtaposed against the digitized
realm of online content consumption, posing both challenges and novel prospects for those aspiring to
carve a career in print media. The impact of digitalization on the print media industry is a central
theme in contemporary discourse. As the digital landscape continues to reshape the way information is
disseminated and consumed, it becomes imperative to explore how these changes reverberate in the
realm of job opportunities within print media.

Moreover, the evolving nature of skill demands within the print media sector adds another layer of
complexity to the narrative. It emphasizes the need for professionals to exhibit not only the
foundational skills of traditional journalism but also a keen adaptability to navigate the digital terrain.
Research further nuances this perspective, suggesting a delicate balance between time-honored
journalistic competencies and the contemporary demand for digital literacy. While the literature
extensively addresses the impact of digitalization and changing skill demands, a lesser-explored
dimension lies in the regional disparities characterizing print media job markets. It delves into this
aspect, shedding light on how job opportunities vary across different geographical areas. This regional
lens is critical for students and professionals planning their career trajectories, offering insights into
potential hubs of growth and areas facing industry challenges.

Internships emerge as a recurring theme in the literature, recognized as a gateway to successful

careers in print media. The studies conducted emphasize the practical experiences gained through
internships as invaluable assets for job seekers. Networking, a crucial component of internships, as a
significant contributor to successful job placements, underscoring the importance of industry
connections in navigating the competitive landscape. As the following sections will delve into these
themes, this introduction sets the stage for a comprehensive exploration of the contemporary
dynamics surrounding job opportunities in print media. The interplay between digitalization, changing
skill demands, regional disparities, and the role of internships forms the backdrop against which we
seek to unravel the complexities and potentials inherent in this ever-evolving sector.

 LITERATURE REVIEW:

1. The Future of Print Media:

(Source: Brightpixel)
The world is shifting to online media and transforming into a digital place as the
technology is tightening its grip. With this, it is hard to imagine there was a time when
all this was new and the print media was the most prominent form of advertisement and
news. But with the increasing digital media do print media/advertising platforms such
as billboards, magazines or newspaper ads still, have a chance? Print media has the
advantage of providing a tangible and tactile experience that digital platforms cannot
replicate. Publishers can explore innovative printing techniques, high-quality paper, and
visually stunning designs to create a sensory experience for readers. Incorporating
interactive elements such as QR codes, augmented reality, or even microchips
embedded in pages can bridge the gap between print and digital, offering a hybrid
experience that combines the best of both worlds.

2. Effects on Print media companies:

(Source: Core.acuk)
The gradual development of print media began from Johannes Gutenberg’s invention of
movable type printing in the mid fifteenth century. The word media is the plural form of
medium, which derived from the word Medius – middle in Latin. The communication
media are the different technology process that facilitate communication between the
sender and receiver of a message. Print media refers to such communication media in
printed form Today print media covers a large range of products and items that fall into
its category – the main ones being books, newspapers, magazines and other periodicals
along with brochures and even product packaging. The focus of this paper is on
newspapers and magazines – and more precisely on companies associated with
publishing of journalistic information through these particular print media forms. The
changes in the print media industry have been closely observed by various scholars and
instances during the past decades. The research regarding this subject has been essential
as companies have tried to adapt to the new media
environment caused by the major steps taken in technological development which has
dramatically changed the whole game within the industry. The reading rates of
traditional printed newspapers and magazines have been steadily declining during the
past two decades (Picard 2004) and change has been the most notable in the younger
 generation’s consumption of all the traditional media forms – print along with television
and radio. Based on this, concerns regarding print’s future customer base are justified, as
already the majority of current print subscribers in Finland represent the age group
above 50 years. The decline in readership and subscriptions has been extremely
damaging to print media companies in two major ways – causing loss of revenue from
both subscriptions and advertising. Lower rates of readership decrease the attractiveness
of a newspaper or a magazine as an advertising channel. Advertising has traditionally
been a significant source of revenue for print media companies. The negative impact on
both subscription and advertising revenues has led to a destructive cycle: decline in
readership rates makes print less attractive to advertisers, which consequently causes
decline in advertising revenue. This loss of revenue combined limits a company’s ability
to tackle the primary issue of decline in subscriptions. There is no end in sight for the
current development: according to Statistics, online advertising has been in steady
growth over last years– reflecting the also increasing share of digital media in general –
whereas the amount of print advertising continues to decline year after year.
As a result of convergence, newspapers and magazines for example are not only
competing with each other. The internet has brought an immense number of new
competitors and in its own way also intensified the existing competition over people’s
attention between print, television and radio as well (Picard 2004). The competition over
people’s attention is among the core challenges for all the media companies due to its
decreasing nature. People have an increasing number of operators in media industry
offering a wide range of choices to focus their interest on but at the same time people’s
social lives have become busier especially in modern societies (Picard 2004). Picard
(2004) reports that sleep and work alone take approximately up to two-thirds of an
individual’s time of a day, leaving only one-third for everything else, including possible
family-related responsibilities and free time activities.

3. New Media Impact on Print Media:

(Source: Caluniv.acin)

With the emergence of the television and the new media (internet), it can be argued that
newspapers are becoming irrelevant in terms of providing the latest news. However,
both media has its own importance. The longevity of written media is much more than
the electronic ones. It is the written media which has made history recordable and
accurate. The age of an old manuscript found while digging a historical site gives
information about the era in which it was written, which is not possible with electronic
media. Print media is durable. Anyone can anonymously post articles and raise their
voices. It is difficult to track the real owner of an article. With electronic media, anyone
can copy any piece of information and present it as his own; plagiarism is at its peak
these days. The information provided by a newspaper is usually more authentic and
genuine but it is not in case of electronic media. Electronic media depends mainly on
electricity. In areas with frequent power cuts or in the rural areas, it is not a viable
replacement for newspapers. Print media is easily accessible and widely read. Anyone
can buy it since it is cheaper and available in the remotest of the villages. In a country
like India, subscribing to newspapers is cheaper than taking an Internet connection. Print
media is local to the city or the region and carries information about the local events like
a play being screened in the town or an inter-school chess tournament. Many
newspapers in India and the world to some extent have started providing analysis of the
news as well and so the demand and scope of newspaper is still sustain in competitive
age. The coverage of the 2009 General Elections is the proof of that. Most newspapers
had their own supplements dedicated to the elections and they scrutinized every detail of
the elections in a way the television channels cannot provide. As of 2000, there are at
least 41,705 newspapers in India and growing every day. The media whilst flawed is one
of the most precious commodities in any democracy and as India celebrates another year
of its emancipation, the media has a lot to celebrate as well – everyday for millions all
over the country it makes this independence count substantial instead of some word
uttered as a cliché at some cocktail party. The newspapers had the information in greater
detail, depth and also had images which were not shown on TV. In the recent era, many
print media are also available in electronic forms. Shortly, the print media is now
available at global level using the internet on which information came in the print media
format.

 Conclusion

In conclusion, the exploration of job opportunities in print media reveals a complex and
dynamic landscape shaped by the digital age. The literature underscores the transformative
impact of digitalization on traditional print roles, sparking debates on the future viability of
conventional positions in an era dominated by online platforms. The evolving skill demands
within the print media sector further complicate this narrative, with a delicate balance
between traditional journalistic competencies and the imperative of digital literacy.

The regional disparities in print media job markets, add another layer to the discussion,
showcasing how job opportunities vary across different geographical areas. This regional lens
becomes pivotal for students and professionals in making informed decisions about where to
focus their job search efforts or potentially relocate for better opportunities. Internships
emerge as a consistent theme, recognized as a crucial pathway to successful careers in print
media. Practical experiences gained through internships are considered invaluable assets for
job seekers, providing them with a competitive edge in a rapidly changing industry.
Moreover, networking during internships, plays a significant role in facilitating successful job
placements, emphasizing the importance of industry connections in navigating the
competitive landscape.
As we reflect on these insights, it becomes evident that job opportunities in print media are
intricately linked to the industry's ability to adapt to digital transformations, the acquisition of
a diverse skill set, the recognition of regional nuances, and the strategic leverage of internship
experiences. The synthesis of these key themes provides a holistic understanding of the
contemporary dynamics within the print media job market, offering both challenges and
opportunities for those embarking on careers in this evolving sector. Looking ahead, the
implications drawn from this literature review provide a foundation for further research and
practical considerations. As print media continues to navigate the complexities of the digital
age, professionals and educators alike can draw upon these insights to shape strategies for
career development, educational curricula, and industry practices, ensuring a symbiotic
relationship between evolving job opportunities and the individuals seeking to thrive within
them.
