Effect of Media Ownership on Content and marketing

-



 




The media industry is vital to informing and entertaining the general public. While the media industry offers numerous national options to the public, local media outlets are more likely than national sources to present local programming that meets the needs of residents in the market.


While many firms are scrambling to capitalize on new direct-to-consumer channels, few have altered their brand narratives or content development strategies as they migrate from paying others to broadcast their content to using it for direct consumer engagement.

Despite the opportunities, few companies — and even fewer of their agencies — appear to have the content, process, and procedures in place to fully profit from direct audience delivery. While the current brand-agency paradigm has been successful in exploiting search and social algorithms to distribute "brand" materials more efficiently, the efforts that have arisen from this approach have failed to deliver on three crucial elements: engagement, efficiency, and scale.


Online publishers adhere to tight criteria in order for their consumers to read, connect with, and share the material they create. On a practical level, these publishers must ensure that their editorial efforts are efficient and that they generate high-quality work that resonates with their most important critics – the audience. It is necessary for their survival.

Customers want to consume, connect with, and share brands' content. Brands can achieve the three goals of engagement, efficiency, and scale by planning and evaluating audience interaction with the same commercial acumen as any publisher. The fact that brands aren't employing this method is, in my opinion, the single biggest reason they're receiving poor results from their existing search and social activities.


"India is one of the world's most important media markets." On the other hand, the concentration of media ownership suggests that only a few people own and control Indian media. Our research looks into media plurality and ownership structures. "This is a crucial endeavour to promote media ownership transparency, which is fundamental to media's reputation and relationship with audiences," said Syed Nazakat, the founder and CEO of DataLEADS. The author claims that "this endeavour will provide a useful data and resource foundation for future media research in the country."


India's media landscape is also shaped by the country's size. The Registrar of Newspapers had over 118,239 publications registered as of March 31, 2018, including over 36,000 weekly magazines, according to the latest recent data. The country has over 550 FM radio stations and over 880 satellite TV channels, according to the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting, with over 380 claiming to deliver "news and current events." The sheer number of news websites available in India is staggering.


The country's cultural and ethnic diversity, as well as its large number of media channels, do not, however, automatically translate into a diverse supply. On the other side, the Media Ownership Monitor reveals a clear trend toward content concentration and, ultimately, control.

Sneek-peek to Multiculturalism through advertisements

Culture affects everything we do. This applies to all areas of human life from personal relationships to conducting business abroad. When interacting within our native cultures, culture acts as a framework of understanding. However, when interacting with different cultures this framework no longer applies due to cross cultural differences. The essence of successful advertising is convincing people that a product is meant for them. By purchasing it, they will receive some benefit, whether it be lifestyle, status, convenience or financial. However, when an advertising campaign is taken abroad different values and perceptions as to what enhances status or gives convenience exist. These differences make the original advertising campaign defunct. By way of highlighting areas of cross cultural differences in advertising a few examples shall be examined. McDonald's Corporation is one of the most successful global restaurant chains around the world.Its global success can be attributed to a...

A tale of Muslim Minorities

 A recent Research Center report documented the highest level of government restrictions on the free practice of religion worldwide in more than a decade. The Middle East and North Africa, continues to have the highest prevalence of government restrictions, while Asia showed a sharp increase in the use of force against religious groups, including property damage, detention, displacement, other forms of abuse, and killings. While Christians were targeted in 145 countries worldwide in 2018, according to the study, Muslims came in close behind, facing harassment in 139 countries. But while Christians face serious repression in much of the world, government actions against Muslims were greater in scope and scale, impacting hundreds of millions of people.  It is clear that no other community faces as high a level of government repression as Muslims—not just in certain countries where they are a minority, such as China and India, but also in places where Islam is the state religio...
