Since 1983, Veronis Suhler Stevenson has been an important information source for the media industry and the financial community by facilitating an understanding of the spending patterns and performance trends of the overall industry and its 12 major segments.

The Veronis Suhler Stevenson Investment Considerations for the Communications Industry (ICCI) is a comprehensive review of key data, trends and drivers impacting the media industry for the past 30 years. Results from the 2004 ICCI indicate that the communications industry has enjoyed steady and impressive growth for the past 25 years, consistently surpassing broader economic growth and outperforming most other U.S. industries. Aside from short-lived setbacks during several periods of economic recession, the communications industry has achieved strong annual revenue and profit growth for most of the 1977-2002 period.

The firm also annually publishes two media and communications industry research publications- The Communications Industry Forecast  and The Communications Industry Report. The Veronis Suhler Stevenson research library interprets the predictability of media company values and articulates the promise that media properties hold for investors and acquirers.

The Report's Summary is included in the Forecast edition. The Communications Industry Report 2003 edition is available in electronic format only. The 2004 editions will publish August 2004.

Veronis Suhler Stevenson's Co-Founder, President and Co-CEO John S. Suhler created and continues to serve as editor-in-chief of these highly regarded communications industry research publications.
