Newspapers are regaining strength in recruitment and property classified advertising both in print and online, but are weakening in their share of automotive classifieds, according to the World Association of Newspaper's third annual Digital Classified Survey.
The survey, contained in a new Strategy Report from WAN's Shaping the Future of the Newspaper project, showed that newspapers in developed countries increased overall revenues by 4.2 per cent in 2005 from a year earlier. Revenues from print classified advertising increased by more than five per cent during the period, a major improvement compared to the decline of 12 per cent reported last year, when overall revenues grew by more than four per cent.

The MA course in Magazine Journalism at the University of Central Lancashire in Preston has won full accreditation from the Periodical Training Council.

The panel members said they had been “enormously impressed” with the course, the tutors, the ethos and the atmosphere, as well as the quality and breadth of outside input.
