Thursday, May 31, 2012 by Mike Morrow

As Derek Thompson, senior editor at The Atlantic, says, "If you work anywhere near media, you'll want to take a long look at this graph."

As Thompson points out, consumers spend more time with Internet and mobile media than print, but print publications still get vastly more ad dollars. 

So what's happening here?

Are the advertising dollars lagging behind consumer behavior? Does the level of engagement vary between media that drastically (I'm always doing something else on my phone, but when I read a newspaper I am highly engaged)? Is mobile advertising significantly undervalued?

What's your takeaway?
