NEWS NEXT

WHAT THEY REALLY WANT

13-17 year olds are not watching TV in larger numbers than ever before.

As expected, those in their teens (13-17year olds) did not experience a boost during the GFC. But viewing among this age group has experienced a significant and sudden drop in 2013

18-29 viewers have been declining over time, and are now at record lows.

18-29 year olds have been consistently declining over the last 3 years with 2013 hitting an all time low

WHY DO WE CARE?
These are the eye balls that back fill the pipeline to the rest of our business.

WHAT DOES THIS HAVE TO DO WITH NEWS?

News sometimes feels like the canary in the coal mine, what's happening in the news space seems to reflect the rest of TVNZ's performance, especially TV One.

AND HOW ARE THEY?
So while younger viewers are watching less and less free to air TV, it seems they are consuming evermore content from elsewhere.

So where from, and what kind of content?

BY GIVING THEM WHAT THEY WANT

  • News told in a magazine style
  • News that resonates with them
  • Available when and where they want
Using new media tools and platforms these two companies have managed to not only connect, but also engage with the very audience that seems to be disengaging from our FTA offering.

How?

By telling stories directly related to that audience, and delivering to them in a format that appeals to the, everybody is a media maker generation. First person, reporter filmed, and edited magazine style.

Then putting it on platforms that make it available when and where they want it, and in a way that they can truly engage through sharing, or even adding to.

THERE'S NO FEAR HERE

  • Native advertising
  • Integrated content
  • PPC
  • Top and tail branding
  • Show sponsorship  
There's no fear here, this audience knows what they want to see. Whats-more they don't mind if its also an attempt to sell to them, but you better make sure its what they want.

This is a group that has no problem with integrated content, as long as it's content that resonates. In fact they are a group that wants to be engaged by their favorite brands, as companies like Vice and Complex have shown.

Putting the content on Ondemand and using separate branding from Onenews.co.nz removes some of the constraints around integrated and native content

This also gives News the opportunity to try and gain experience in the use of new media tools, without impacting OneNews.
