Free TV continues to take the lion’s share of advertising expenditure in 2013, with 31 percent, followed by newspapers (17 percent), pay TV (10 percent), search (9 percent), and a three-way tie with magazine, radio and out-of-home, each with 7 percent, according to MAGNA Global.

North America in general, and the United States specifically, continue to garner one-third of the ad market, while Asia Pacific, and particularly Japan and China, draw another one-third. Twenty-eight percent belongs to the Europe, Middle East and Africa region (EMEA), which is anchored by Western Europe, at 21 percent of the world’s advertising spend.
