How a podcast is classified
For government statistics, tax forms and many licensing systems, a podcast usually falls under NAICS 519130: Internet Publishing and Broadcasting and Web Search Portals.
This industry comprises establishments primarily engaged in (1) publishing and/or broadcasting content on the Internet exclusively or (2) operating Web sites that use a search engine to generate and maintain extensive databases of Internet addresses and content in an easily searchable format (and known as Web search portals). The publishing and broadcasting establishments in this industry do not provide traditional (non-Internet) versions of the content that they publish or broadcast. They provide textual, audio, and/or video content of general or specific interest on the Internet exclusively. Establishments known as Web search portals often provide additional Internet services, such as email, connections to other Web sites, auctions, news, and other limited content, and serve as a home base for Internet users.
Businesses classified here include
- Advertising periodical publishers, exclusively on Internet
- Agricultural magazine and periodical publishers, exclusively on Internet
