"The print magazine market is not declining" - Ingham

Speaking exclusively with GamesIndustry.biz today, Future CEO Greg Ingham has defended the company's £97 million bid for rival print publisher Highbury House, saying that the print market has "some long way to go".

Asked how the firm would justify such a large investment in the paper market at a time when it is widely perceived to be facing tough rivalry from other mediums such as online, Ingham said that the sector "has shown very good growth over a long period of time."

While he admitted that there are many challenges in the "volatile" games sector, he argued that "as the games industry as a whole gets bigger, so there are more opportunities" - and said that in terms of overall print publishing, "given where we are in the market, we've got a lot of growing to do."
