In this presentation Sean O'Neal from the Mail Online talks about the movement from printed newspapers to online media. As technology evolves the way we consume media changes, and so to cope with this Mail Online look to publish their news across multiple platforms ( mobile, tablet, desktop ) to capitalise on changes in the consumers. With focus on the mobile demographic, who take up more than 50% of their online readership.

MailOnline is a mobile publishing juggernaut. Every day we have 6 million visits from a mobile device (Omniture, May2013), across mobile browsers, Smartphone apps, and Tablet apps.
Mobile publishing is creating an entirely new set of opportunities – for both the user and the content providerWe can publish by device typeWe can edit and serve advertising based on day partingPersonalization is possible at a different level – your total experience can be customized, users can choose which channels you want to sync, dictate what they want to see more and less ofAnd with “mobility”, location and behaviour can power what, when, and how content is published and consumed.
For example, publishers can tell when someone is turning their mobile device upside down that they are laying down – you can program for that. I’m not sure how, but it is an opportunity!You don’t necessarily have to edit your content by platform or device – you certainly can edit titles and images so they are more “punchy” – but you DO need to *format* for device Fonts, for example, render best when condensed and more narrow.
The overall page layout is also very important. Here’s an example of a MailOnline article displayed on a desktop monitor…
Here’s that same story displayed on a tablet, non-optimized for mobile…
And you can see what happens to that same article if displayed on a Smartphone, non-optimized. Pretty hard to read…
Here is that same Smartphone article zoomed-in closer-up. You’d have to pinch-to-zoom in or out, or swipe around quite a bit to read this article.

Fortunately for us, Entertainment and News content apps are amongst the most popular
And some good news for our mobile advertisers, tablet users come from higher income households
And even betternews for our advertisers, nearly half of tablet users find newspaper and magazine app ads RELEVANT and INTERESTING
And the mobile ad dollars are finally starting to flow – here is eMarketer’s Global Spending Forecast…
And here is the U.S. spending forecast.
Where is the investment picking up the most?
Which verticals are CURRENTLY enjoying the largest spend?
So WHY are Advertisers Increasing Their Mobile Spend?
Which is why we continue to invest not only in great mobile publishing products, but great mobile advertising solutions.

So we talked about how news consumption on the tablet is now up to 50% of total consumption…
This appears to be driven largely by a younger audience, aged 18-44.
And this audience – in the US – is relying pretty heavily on social media as a gateway to their news.
A closer look at top mobile traffic countries – Brazil is one of the only where the “over 45” population is using social media to discover news as much as their younger counterparts.
Social is a channel for discovery.Because of this, social media channels are becoming just as (if not more) important that your main web site.Information consumption has changed – aggregators, readers, newsfeeds are now a primary source of information.There are some people who will just never bookmark or come directly to your site.
There is a difference between publishing for social – you want engagement, not just people reading your content. You want your readers to Respond, React, Comment, Share It is interactive vs. passive
