Trust is another factor highlighted by the study, with print advertising scoring high in this regard.

• 63% find print ad content useful,
• 26% are willing to pay for access to online press content.

PBC`s reports are based on eyetracking studies covering both daily newspapers and magazines. Detailed information on the effectiveness of advertising in the most popular press titles was published in early 2021.
