Know-How Exchange : Advertising/PR

In the US, "Advertising Age" (a/k/a "AdAge" -- www.adage.com) is pretty widely read by the marketing community. It's a weekly newspaper with a growing online presence. It used to be mostly about advertising agencies and clients, but now it includes a pretty broad range of marketing topics. It's been around for at least 75-80 years.

I can give you an idea of the more popular papers and magazines in Europe. They will fit into what you broadly classify as "branded and marketed"

UK: The Times, The Daily Telegraph, The Guardian; popular - Sun, Mirror, Mail, Express, Star. I'm not so hot on the magazines. I can only think of the Spectator, Economist.

Germany*: Die Zeit, Frankfurter Algemeine Zeitung, Sueddeutscher Zeitung, Bild. Magazines: Stern, Der Spiegel.

*Germany's media is far more diverse than the UK or US. Local papers are still very popular even if they have large amounts of syndicated material. This goes for Europe in general, although Germany and the Netherlands display a diversity greater than say France. That's my opinion. You can't really compare German and French society - and thereby their reading habits. I would like to add that Die Zeit (an occasional treat at weekends) often has three-page articles - not something you often see in UK newspapers. Its circulation is around 700,000.

Gary has given you a good steer for UK publications above, I would add "Marketing" magazine, "Marketing Week" and Campaign (although that is mainly advertising, there's a lot of crossover.
