2022 has been a huge year for media industry mergers as company valuations have gone through the roof.
Highlights include:
- Lord Rothermere's £3bn deal to take DMGT private
- Axel Springer's $1bn purchase of Politico
- And Future's £300m buyout of Dennis
Our Future of Media Deals webinar will look at the big themes driving M&A activity and other deals in the news media sector globally over the next year.
Questions we will aim to answer will include:
- What is driving the current growth in news media valuations?
- How can companies better prepare themselves for take-over at a strong purchase price?
- What does 2022 hold for various media sectors: regional press, digital-only players, B2B?
- How does the panel feel about the state of news media as we head into 2022? Are investors seeing this as a strong area to put their money?
