(“KPMG International”), a Swiss with KPMG International Cooperative © 2012 KPMG, an Indian Registered Partnership and a member firm of the KPMG network of independent member firms affiliated and a member firm of the KPMG network independent firms Partnership KPMG, an Indian Registered © 2012 Foreword 2011 has been a dynamic year for the Indian Media & Entertainment (M&E) industry - A year in which the transformation of the industry began to take hold. It was also a year of mixed fortunes, with advertising growth being robust in the first half (January to June), and muted in the second (July to December). The long- promised digital ecosystem began to impact various segments. Film saw benefits from digital distribution with wide releases and early capture of revenue, cable digitization got underway, and the music industry grew on the back of consumption of digital music. Going forward as well, the outlook for the economy remains conservative, and the muted growth rates seen in the latter part of the year may continue into the first 6 months of 2012. The Indian M&E industry has evolved greatly over the last decade against the backdrop of shifting consumer preferences towards niche content and digital delivery platforms, evolving business models, hyper competition due to entry of local and global players, and changing regulations. The industry has seen a focus on managing costs, innovation and research since the recessionary pressures in 2009. This has enabled players to look at sustainable cost optimization in difficult times. The year saw important developments in terms of multiple films crossing the INR 100 Crore mark at the Box office, growing commitment from the cable industry to pursue digitization as per the government’s mandate, regional markets defying recessionary trends in terms of growth of television and print, the government’s commitment towards phase 3 for radio and the growth of new media. We are looking forward to 2012 being a relatively more buoyant year in terms of growth for the industry. We wait to see the action in the television distribution space, and in radio, as both industries undergo regulatory changes. It will also be interesting to see print players adapt to the growing challenge being posed due to new media and changing news consumption habits. Lastly, new media such as Animation / VFX, digital advertising, and gaming are expected to continue their growth momentum. The overall M&E market in India is expected to grow at a compounded annual growth rate of 15 percent per annum over the next five years, to reach INR 1.4 trillion in 2016. The potential for increase in media penetration, growing importance of regional markets, increasing consumption in tier 2 and 3 cities, impact of regulatory changes, more focused consumer research, innovation in content, marketing and delivery platforms to serve different niches, increasing device penetration like mobiles, tablets, PCs etc., all point towards a very positive future for the industry. The analysis presented in this report has been put together after extensive discussions with senior stakeholders of the Indian M&E industry. KPMG in India and FICCI are grateful to them and all others who have helped us put this report together.

  • Indian Entertainment and Media Outlook 2010 2 Indian Entertainment and Media Outlook 2010 Message
    Indian entertainment and media outlook 2010 2 Indian entertainment and media outlook 2010 Message To our clients and friends both in and beyond the entertainment and media industry : Welcome to the 2010 edition of PricewaterhouseCoopers’ Indian Entertainment and Media (E&M) Outlook, covering the forecast period of 2010–2014. Our forecasts and analysis for this edition focus on eight major E&M industry segments and one emerging segment. Each segment details out the key trends observed and challenges faced apart from providing the prospects for the segment. In the industry overview section, we have highlighted the key theme observed during 2009 and what we perceive as future trends in the coming years. We have a chapter on the tax and regulatory impact on the various E&M segments and for the very first time we have included a chapter on how technology can be leveraged in the E&M industry. In 2009, the economy severely impacted the world, translating into steep declines in advertisement as well as consumer spending. India though impacted, did manage to show growth with increased consumer spending as well as innovative action on the part of the industry. Against this backdrop, across the world, except certain markets, speed of digital spending increased due to changing consumer behavior as well as technology available to deliver the same. In India, while the spend on digital media is likely to grow, it is unlikely that it will dominate in the forecast period. This is largely due to the relative unavailability as well as unaffordability of the broadband and mobile infrastructure.

  • Comparative Study of Print Media Coverage of Indian Athletes in London Olympics
    Journal of Sports Research, 2015, 2(1): 10-17 Journal of Sports Research ISSN(e): 2410-6534/ISSN(p): 2413-8436 URL: www.pakinsight.com COMPARATIVE STUDY OF PRINT MEDIA COVERAGE OF INDIAN ATHLETES IN LONDON OLYMPICS Asish Paul1† --- Gopa Saha Roy2 1Assistant Professor, Dept. of Physical Education, Jadavpur University, Kolkata, W.B., India 2Assistant Professor, S.I.P.E.W., Hastings House, Alipur, Kolkata, W.B., India ABSTRACT Sports became the most interesting area of media coverage among different stream. As it has got its most important status in the world’s media to popularize the newspaper, there is a distinct lack of comparative research on the media coverage of sports. To minimize the gap, this search draws attention on sports coverage during the London Olympics, 2012 from three different newspapers of different languages. The coverages were recorded considering the preview, competition and review phases. The results show that the total coverage of the English newspaper, the Telegraph (36039 sq. cm.) was more than the other two Bengali and Hindi newspapers (9224 sq. cm. and 2599 sq. cm. respectively). The female performers got more attention (34942 sq. cm.) than the male performers (12920 sq. cm.). All the three newspapers provided maximum coverage in the competition phase rather than the other two phases. The English newspaper provided more attention in preview of the main competition also in comparison to the other two newspapers. It has concluded that the coverage of the print media depends mainly on the performance of the athletes, popularity of the performers and intensity of the competition.
