August 30, 2017: As the media industry continues its shift to digital platforms, comScore has identified 10 issues that “continue to burn hot across the industry.”[1]

Many of the issues focus on the challenges of audience measurement and defining value for advertisers. One complicating factor is the tremendous variety of content forms, a dramatic change from the television era.

While these issues are of primary concern to the advertising industry, the way they are resolved will have a significant impact on the content that is produced and how we are able to view it.

The 10 issues are:

  1. Bridging the Divide Between TV and Digital
  2. Advanced Audience Data
  3. Monetizing Mobile
  4. Measuring Unduplicated Reach Across Platforms
  5. Cross-Device Marketing
  6. Programmatic Pressure on CPMs
  7. Moving Beyond Viewability
  8. Filtering Big Botnets
  9. The Value of Attention
  10. Advertising Attribution

The comScore report says, "The good news is that progress is being made on all fronts.” Their final conclusion is that “digital can be a bit messy at times, but the future remains bright!”
