New Timber Regulations Begin for EU
The European Commission (EC) has brought in effect new
measures to prohibit illegally harvested timber and timber products from being
placed on the EU market. The new EU Timber Regulation (EUTR) came into force
yesterday.
According to EUTR, EU operators selling timber and timber
products will have to ensure that the timber has been harvested according to
the relevant laws of the country of harvest. To ensure the legality of the
wood, the operators must apply the so-called "due diligence"
mechanism. This involves providing information on the supply of timber products, including description of species, volume, country of harvest, the supplyer's name and address as well as evidence of compliance with applicable legislation. The system also requires risk assessment of the supply and, where high risk is identified, mitigation to eliminate any potentially illegal timber.
Traders along the supply chain within the EU will be obliged to keep records of all operators through to the end-user.
The EU member states are responsible for applying sanctions to operators who break the rules. Timber products from countries that have entered into Forest Law Enforcement Governance and Trade (FLEGT) voluntary partnership agreements with the EU are considered to be in compliance with the new regulation.
Northern Wisconsin Mill Towns Brace for Worst
Wausau is busy fending off the most
high-profile hostile
corporate battle Wisconsin has seen in years. Manhattan-based hedge fund
Starboard Value LP acquired the largest single stake in Wausau in 2011 and
since then has pressured the company to break itself up.
Pressure from Starboard last year prompted
Wausau to shut its oldest mill in the village of Brokaw, the mill that founded
the company in 1899. Starboard's pressure also compelled Wausau to make an abrupt
announcement in January that it will sell its remaining mills in the
Midwest, including Rhinelander, Mosinee and a third across the state line in
Brainerd, Minn.Wausau barely gave itself five weeks to find prospective buyers, however, before it made an equally abrupt announcement: It will close the Minnesota mill. Nor has it said yet that it has found buyers for its two remaining Wisconsin mills.
USDA Awards $3 Million for Wood to Energy Projects
http://www.usda.gov/wps/portal/usda/usdamediafb?contentid=2011/06/0267.xml&printable=true&contentidonly=true
Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack today announced the award of nearly $3 million in grants to 17 small businesses
and community groups to develop wood-to-energy projects that require engineering
services and will help expand regional economies and create new jobs.
"Biomass is a vital part of America's
clean energy future as we work to decrease our dependence on foreign oil,"
said Vilsack. "Projects like these will help grow regional economies,
create new jobs, and improve and protect our environment. We will need
architects and engineers to design these plants, skilled laborers to build them
and well-trained technicians to operate them."

Safeway Looking Away from Print
Safeway
is doing its best to eliminate print advertising in favor of more personalized
digital ads.
The fifth largest grocery player in North
America spent $20 million on newspaper ads through November of 2012. That's
consistent with 2011, though a big drop off from the $33 million spent on
newspaper ads in 2010.
Still, print and free-standing newspaper
inserts continue to dominate coupon media, even as digital coupons gain in
popularity. Kantar Media found a 46% increase in digital coupon events by
consumer packaged goods companies last year, with the trend accelerating as the
year progressed.
USPS Posts Loss for January, Direct Mail Up 4%

$437 million for January due to dwindling first-class mail usage and higher
personnel costs. Overall revenue rose, however, driven by other product
categories.
January volume of first-class mail, the Postal Service's most profitable product, declined by 2.0%.
However, revenue for the month increased 4.4% to
$5.6 billion, as standard mail, used most often for advertising, experienced a
4.0% increase in volume and a 2.6% rise in revenue. Periodical mail volume and
revenue also rose—2.6% and 2.9%, respectively.

BtoB Study: 96% Use Social Marketing, Only 41% Measure
Social media marketing has
reached a stage of maturity that places it firmly in the mainstream of
marketing channel activity, with fully 96% of marketers engaging with social
media in some fashion, according to a new report by BtoB.
However,
only 41% of marketers reported that they make any attempt to measure social's
return on investment. Further, respondents rate the performance of social media
as a marketing tool at just 6.4 on a 10-point scale.
Marketers' Key Concern: Accountability
A survey of top marketers says
"accountability" is again their top concern.
The Association of National Advertisers says it's the third time this has happened since the industry group began taking the survey seven years ago (2010 and 2006). "Integrated marketing communication" comes next on the list of top concerns, followed by "aligning the marketing organization with innovation" and "building strong brands."
The group says these four issues have been at the top of its survey list since the group began its survey, in 2006. "Integrated marketing communications" was the most important issue to marketers in 2007 and 2008.

2012: Slow Growth Year For Ad Companies
Not only was 2012 a “tepid” year growth-wise for
the major advertising holding companies, it also got progressively worse with
each succeeding quarter.
Collective organic revenue growth for the holding companies (Omnicom, Interpublic, Publicis Groupe, WPP and Havas) amounted to just 1.6% in the fourth quarter, according to a new report from Pivotal Research Group’s Brian Wieser. That was down from 4.2%, 3.1% and 2% in the first, second and third quarters, respectively.
For the year, the holding companies had collective growth of between 2.5% and 3%, Wieser reported.

Industry Effort to Improve Web Ad Metrics Stalled
Is
the viewable impression going nowhere fast? A full two years after IAB, the ANA
and the 4A's launched Making Measurement Make
Sense (3MS), a cross-industry effort to improve Web ad metrics, and a year
after viewability took center stage at the IAB’s annual meeting, the movement
seems to be running in place. Instead of rallying around a new ad currency,
questions continue to arise over the most practical of issues, such as how to measure,
implement and enforce viewable impressions—and whether the whole conversation
is even worthwhile.
What If Publishers Could Start From Scratch?
Digiday reached out to publishers with this question: If you could start from scratch, what would you do as a publisher?
Jason Pontin, publisher and editor-in-chief, MIT Technology Review
I suppose the answer, considered purely economically, is that I couldn’t afford to launch a print publication if I was starting from scratch. On the other hand, the print publication, now that the business has stabilized, brings in a tidy set of revenue streams in subscriptions, print advertising, and licensing fees, and it supports the online CPM, too. I’m glad we still have a printed publication.

Resolute Announces Pulp Hike
A day after announcing flat
softwood kraft prices for March 1, Resolute Forest Products (Resolute) informed
North American customers that it will increase northern bleached softwood kraft
(NBSK) pulp list prices by $30/tonne in April.
Montreal-headquartered
Resolute's flat NBSK announcement for March essentially led to two camps among
North American producers this month:Domtar and Tembec announced $30/tonne increases on NBSK to $930/tonne, effective Mar. 1. Canfor Pulp set a flat Mar. 1 price on NBSK in the USA but announced a $30/tonne increase that's effective on April 1. The firm has March hikes in China and Europe.
Now, one day after slating flat NBSK levels, Resolute has informed North American customers that it will increase prices by $30/tonne, effective April 1.
That would raise its domestic list price on NBSK to $930/tonne, the same level Canfor Pulp and others slated but with different effective dates.
In addition, Resolute told customers it will increase domestic southern bleached softwood kraft (SBSK) pulp prices to $890/tonne, up $30/tonne. As with NBSK, the firm's SBSK is set to increase one month after Domtar's.
Resoulte has a $30/tonne price increase on two key grades of bleached hardwood kraft (BHK) market pulp effective Mar. 1.
Resolute has an estimated 1.86 million tonnes/yr of market pulp capacity at its US and Canadian mills. It makes NBSK, SBSK, NBHK, SBHK, fluff pulp, and and recycled bleached kraft, or market deinked pulp (MDIP).

and much of the reason for that can be blamed on mobile phones.

Do Not Track Legislation Back
Privacy is about to heat up again in Congress. Sen. Jay

Beyond Display Advertising: Legacy publishers have historically been beaten to the punch by the more disruptive online-only competition. That competition, as we all know, has fractured into disruptions of all shapes and sizes—from well-funded, venture-backed startups to smaller players, like Andrew Sullivan’s The Dish, which split from The Daily Beast to give a shot at a model that’s solely supported by reader subscriptions—no ads.

But association magazines, while maintaining their importance as member benefits, are quickly expanding their missions across platforms, and their parent organizations are making cross-platform information services a high priority.
