Every week, Jack Myers shares his unique perspective on the state of the media and advertising business in this free video. Jack's full report and economic forecasts are available to subscribers at www.jackmyers.com.

In January of 2009, in my first report of the year to subscribers, I wrote "There is hardly a glimmer of positive news for the global and national economy." Is the advertising and media business better off today than it was three years ago? Without a doubt! And we can look forward to the next several years with enthusiasm, excitement and a positive economic outlook. In this week's report, Jack identifies emerging companies to watch, discusses the industry's greatest challenges and opportunities, and shares his perspective on the past three years of economic, political and social turmoil. Happy 2012 and please share with me your comments, observations and what you are looking forward to in 2012. Comment at www.jackmyers.com or e-mail jm@jackmyers.com.
