In 2014, the UK publishing industry was valued at £10.2bn, a year-on-year increase of 2.8%. There are over 200,000 people working in the industry.
The publishing sector is extensive, as two-thirds of the population reads a news source on a regular basis. Women are more likely than men to choose a magazine as their preferred news source. This means there is a large target audience available for a quality magazine franchise.
Oftentimes magazine franchises choose to focus on a local area; who knows your area — its interests, audience, and trends — better than you? By creating localized content and targeting local businesses as advertising partners, regional magazine franchises can fill a niche role.
