From our friends at the Center for Media Research comes this gem: Preliminary estimates from the Newspaper Association of America show that advertising expenditures for newspaper websites increased by 21.1 percent to $773 million in the third quarter versus the same period a year ago. This is the fourteenth consecutive quarter of double digit growth for online newspaper advertising since 2004. Newspaper website advertising now accounts for 7.1 percent of total newspaper ad spending, compared to 5.4 percent in last year's third quarter.
Now, that is the kind of news an eMedia professional can get excited about.

Preview Pane readers are higher than we thought
Sent to me from our eNewsletter engine, Real Magnet, some revealing stats that challenge the value placed on open rates. Only under certain circumstances will an email viewed in a preview pane register as an "open." So, chew on this: 52 percent of B2B email newsletter readers say they always use the preview pane. A further 17 percent say they frequently use the preview pane to read email.
It follows that if we are reporting open rates of 23%, we can effectively add to our opens some 50% of those delivered, as well. More views, whether in an opened email or one viewed in a preview pane means more value for our advertisers and sponsors.
How about you? Take my poll.
