The Sunday Herald yesterday took a look at the issues that will be facing the Scottish media in 2008:
- What will News International’s pricing strategy be under James Murdoch? Will the price war that saw the Scottish Sun sold at 20p continue?
- How will the Scottish Executive’s plans to launch a jobs portal affect newspapers’ recruitment revenue?
- What are the Scottish papers doing online? The Herald papers are preparing to announce a new joint portal for their titles as they become more integrated. The Scotsman and Daily Record have both also recently relaunched their web sites.
- Will SMG follow ITV’s lead and acquire independent production companies?
- How will redundancies affect output at STV and BBC Scotland?
