"For us, the most outstanding finding is that respondents -- our customers -- outperform the industry average 3:1 ," says Kim Keller, EVP of Sales for Godengo+Texterity. "Veronis Suhler Stevenson puts today's industry rev gen average for digital at about 5% while our Consumer publishers are seeing 14% and our BtoB publishers, 16%. That's very encouraging, and yet there's tremendous room for growth."

Glenn Schutz, Manager of Communications for BPA Worldwide, echoes this optimism: "It's great to see media owners recognize the brand value of a digital platform. For our members, digital circulation continues to grow and serve as an important means to reach subscribers. For those reporting it, digital circulation constitutes more than 21% of their total audience. That's up from 19% just six months ago."
