In case you haven’t been paying attention for the past, say, 5-10 years:
Time Warner Inc. (TWX) Chief Financial Officer John Martin said Thursday that the television advertising market is “really strong,” while the print advertising market is “okay–but not really robust.”

Meanwhile, he said the company’s publishing arm, Time Inc.–which he called “the most secularly challenged part of our company”–faces difficult comparisons in the second half of this year, though he added that he didn’t see any slowdown ahead.
The magazine business was pummeled by the recent economic downturn at a time when it was already declining due to the rise of digital media.
