Paid news content spending drops

Consumer spending for online content in the U.S. grew to $987 million in the first half of 2005, an increase of 15.7 percent over the same period last year, according to a new study conducted by comScore Networks on behalf of The Online Publishers Association.

However, spending on paid news content dropped from the first half of 2004 as compared with the first half of 2005, from $45.6 million to $39.3 million.

Still, the report said that "continued strong showings by Business Content/Investment Content (the third-largest revenue-producer) and Research (up 33.8% in H1 2005 over H1 2004) indicate that consumers also readily turn to the Internet for information."
