Publishing Kicks Advertisings Ass ?

Most stats put annual revenue from publishing at twice that from advertising.

Annual U.S. Advertising Expenditure Since 1919 US ad spending over many decades

Some put annual US advertising stats at over $ 200 billion but most put it between $ 150 & $ 190 billion.

Publishing is over $ 300 billion annually

The information sector is over $ 700 billion

US Census Press Releases

There is a large margin of overlap in the stats. Much publishing revenue is generated by advertising and vice versa.

I would still put the publishing industry ahead by a factor of two to one.
