GLOSSARY ENTRY (DERIVED FROM QUESTION BELOW)
French term or phrase:parallèlement
English translation:likewise, by the same token...

French term or phrase: parallèlement
Hi,
"Le temps ou la publicité était gratuite n'est plus. Parallèlement, le temps que met à disposition le lecteur à un media doit se mériter davantage."

"in parallel" doesn't sound right at all, I would like to use "at the same time" but I have "time" right after.

Any suggestions?
Thank you!

neutral  Tony M: I think 'also' is too weak and doesn't read very naturally in EN here; and 'similarly' isn't quite strictly accurate...

Asker: I like your suggestion, nice and colloquial :) however, this is for a magazine dealing with finance, economy...so I'm not quite sure really


Peer comments on this answer (and responses from the answerer)
agree  Tony M: Yes, actually, even though the literal meaning is perhaps not specially relevant here, I think the colloquial usage is as you say quite apposite here. / And perfect for asker's stated context; it is idiomatic, without being informal.
