English abstract

Projections based on 1997 / 98 figures. A survey in the framework of the MSSTUDY II in 16 countries, supported by the European Commission and the Institut d'Estadística de Catalunya (Idescat). This report (a Delphi study) is the result of integrating 28 questionnaires answered by 29 Spanish experts (two of them fulfilled only one questionnaire) that have years of experience in the information sector --most of them are known because of their previous analyses and works--, that come from very different areas, like public administrations, big and small companies, universities, research centres, specialised journalism, etc. Their opinions have been interpreted, grouped and re-elaborated in two steps, the second one having received the approval of the participants (see the list in the final appendix). We have to remind that, as the rest of the MSStudy, this questionnaire always addresses the information market: i.e., information not free of charge for which users are prepared to pay directly for it. In principle we exclude, thus, the information free of charge produced by the public administrations. Although information paid indirectly by mean of advertising (of which in Spain there are already some cases, far from being 100% self-financed) is also treated, this study is based primarily on the information services paid by the own end-user, be it institutional or private.
