Publishing of newspapers

NACE v2.1 Code: J58.12

About publishing of newspapers

NACE code 58.12 covers the publishing of newspapers, a vital industry that plays a crucial role in the dissemination of information and the shaping of public discourse. As a key component of the broader media and communications sector, the publishing of newspapers is an essential part of the information economy, providing citizens with news, analysis, and a platform for public dialogue.

Production process

The production of newspapers involves a multi-step process that has evolved significantly with the advent of digital technologies. While traditional printing methods are still utilized, many newspapers now leverage digital tools and platforms to create, edit, and distribute content. This includes the use of content management systems, layout software, and online publishing platforms to streamline the editorial and production workflows.

Production inputs

The publishing of newspapers requires a range of inputs, including newsprint, ink, and other printing materials. Additionally, newspapers rely on the work of journalists, editors, photographers, and other media professionals to gather, produce, and curate the content. Specialized equipment, such as printing presses and computer hardware and software, are also essential inputs for this industry.

Production outputs

The primary output of the publishing of newspapers industry is, of course, the newspapers themselves. These publications are then consumed by readers, who may access them through physical copies or digital platforms. The content produced by newspapers also serves as an input for other NACE codes, such as 63.12 Web portals, 63.91 News agency activities, and 70.21 Public relations and communication activities.
