SPH drops media business

This is the result of a restructuring effort by the group.

In an announcement released on 10 September, Singapore Press Holdings (SPH) confirmed the dropping of their media business.

The company attributed this as the result of a restructuring effort to increase SPH’s value. While SPH is to assist with the operation and maintenance of the business with an initial fund of $80m, the efforts will allow the company to avoid any potential losses and future funding requirements.

According to the answers given by the company to its investors, another reason for this is the decrease in operating revenue due to declines in print advertising and print subscription revenue.

A tax loss of $9.7m was recorded for the six months until 28 February 28. This decline is expected to continue.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
