Print Paid Product Placements Pervasive
The total value of product placements in magazines is on pace to grow 17.5 percent in 2005 to $160.9 million, and product placements in newspapers is projected to rise 16.9 percent to $65.0 million, MediaPost reports. A new report from PQ Media estimates that media other than TV and film account for 18.1 percent, or $384.9 million, of all product placements. Just yesterday, radio got a wakeup call with Sony BMG's 'payola' settlement.
Industry watchdogs view the rapid rise of print product placements with alarm. On the other hand, advertisers and agency executives have said that the practice is pervasive.
