Media & Publishing Payment Practices: Marginal Improvement in 2024 (72.0/100 vs 71.2/100)

The Comparison

• 2023: 33 companies surveyed achieved an average payment score of 71.2 out of 100.
• 2024: 38 companies surveyed demonstrated a slightly improved average payment score of 72.0 out of 100.

What This Means

While the number of companies assessed increased, the average payment performance across the media and publishing sector only edged up by 0.8 points in 2024, reflecting a very minor positive shift, which is still worth looking at. This suggests that any improvements made within individual organisations have not yet broadly translated into substantial gains across the industry.

In summary: The media and publishing sector saw a small uptick in payment practices, moving from an average score of 71.2 (33 companies) to 72.0 (38 companies).
