Will climate change force publishers to adopt a greater element of soft copy advertising rather than hard copy?

Hard copy or printed material will continue to have its place in the advertising space. It will continue to further combine and compliment soft copy (electronic media) so that the end result for our customers is greater access to the right product buyers. Not every product best is best suited to print media or electronic media but in most cases it is a combination of both. PMP aims to capture the best mix for our customers. However, an important factor to consider is that print media is that the key driver behind forestry plantation growth which is one of the best weapons in fighting climate change. Forestry plantation growth has increased by 51% over the past decade in Australia mainly driven by the pulp and paper product.
