Q1:Why did IPC Media have cause to be optimistic about their business prospects in 2006?
IPC tx unveils TV easy in April 2005 - the third major launch in 16 months from IPC Media’s innovations programme, initiated by chief executive Sylvia Auton in 2003. The magazine is Britain’s very first compact paid-for TV Listings weekly and is backed by a £10million marketing investment.


They have cause to be optimistic about there business prospects, because their magazine revenue was higher than that of other TV and newspaper companies. There magazines were very attractive to the general population and reached a wide range of people.


Q2:According to the article in THE GUARDIAN (Jan 2009) why are the major players in the British magazine industry better placed to weather the economic crisis?
Large publishers such as IPC Media, Condé Nast and Future Publishing, which have invested in extending their brands into TV, web, mobile, radio or shopping, are more likely to weather the impact than those with standalone products or thinner portfolios of titles.
