contribute to the size and growth of the news market as a whole. There is an increasing 
amount of literature which provides qualitative assessments of these developments or 
quantitative, but very incidental assessments on for instance website visitors and advertising 
revenues for single news websites. Combined, these different sources could provide a picture 
of major developments and what is at stake in the future of news provision, but more 
comprehensive data collection would be required to be able to make more precise 
assessments. This is especially relevant as people increasingly turn to online news sources and 
news consumption patterns are changing fundamentally. Consumer surplus in terms of the 
amount and instant availability of news, updated 24/7, and sophisticated options to 
personalize, share, discuss and contribute to the news offer is obvious. However the long term 
viability and sustainability of news provision, on international, national, regional and local 
levels, as well as in different news genres, also needs to be taken into the equation, especially 
because some genres might no so easily be funded by the market alone and alternative models 
have so far not been sufficiently strong to provide structural solutions for emerging gaps in 
news provision.
