The newspaper industry’s print ad revenue will finally start to grow again, albeit slowly, Gordon Borrell, CEO of Borrell Associates, said today during NetNewsCheck’s "Prioritizing Digital in 2013: Maximizing New Revenue Streams” webinar.

For the industry overall, print revenue is predicted to rise 0.5% in 2013, Borrell said. Most of that growth will come from small papers. Mid-sized papers, those in the 50,000 to 100,000 circulation range, are expected to see mixed results, with revenue staying mostly flat.
