Keeping in view the rising trend, a mechanism for releasing public-sector advertisements on digital media had been proposed.<\/p>\n<p>The new policy aims to bring in place a set of procedures for the government to distribute its advertisements across different channels, similar to what already exists for print and broadcast media.<\/p>\n<p>Once it is approved and implemented, news websites as well as individual content creators on social media platforms such as Instagram and YouTube will be able to register with the information ministry.<\/p>\n<p>Subject to meeting yet-to-be finalised criteria, they will become eligible for the government\u2019s advertisements.<\/p>\n<p>While no specific outlay has been identified as yet, initially it will be for national campaigns such as Independence Day or Pakistan Day.<\/p>\n<p>The advertisement tariffs will be based on a number of factors and an exact mechanism is currently being worked out.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt will be in line with industry standards with variables such as monthly traffic, subscribers, placement on the page, and CPMs in the overall market,\u201d Ghazali said.<\/p>\n<p>Based on that, different tiers will be specified. Whether those rates will be higher than private sector advertisers is yet to finalised.<\/p>\n<p>To verify a website\u2019s traffic or impressions, the Digital Media Wing is proposing the use of third-party software like Google Analytics. However, for publications, that might be a step too far.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere needs to be some sort of verification mechanism in place for the government to get a return on its money. That could be any credible tool, like Alexa or Google Analytics.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Moving beyond just news platforms, the proposed policy also aims to tap on the growing list of Pakistani influencers on YouTube and Instagram.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis will provide a good avenue for individual creators to monetise [their content] provided they meet certain criteria,\u201d Ghazali said. In line with the industry conventions, these influencers will have to guarantee a mutually agreed upon number of views in a given period.<\/p>\n<p>They will have to register with the information ministry as individuals while there would be another category covering platforms, which includes both fully digital news publishers as well as online arms of traditional news organisations.<\/p>\n<p>Given the one platforms\u2019 proliferation and digital advertising\u2019s sophistication in tracking reach, it is likely that the federal government will be channeling an increasing share of its advertising spend towards these channels even though the exact details and plans are yet to materialise.<\/p>\n<p>This still leaves the provinces, which devise their own rules for running ads.<\/p>\n<p>In fact, Punjab included digital media in its Advertisement Policy of 2012 while there was some talk of Sindh doing the same a few years ago.<\/p>\n<p>Ghazali stated he felt the federal administration\u2019s lead will eventually roll down to the provincial level.<\/p>\n<p>With print media\u2019s circulation constantly falling for years and broadcast quickly ceding space to online platforms, the nature of advertising is rapidly changing. According to\u00a0<em>Aurora<\/em>, the share of advertising spend in Pakistan increased by seven percentage points to 23pc in FY20, from 16pc in FY19.<\/p>\n<p>In terms of absolute values, digital advertising spending jumped by 30pc to Rs13.65 billion in FY20, from Rs10.5bn in FY19.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The government is currently working on a new policy to
