Foreword Deloitte’s Media Metrics identifies and ranks the UK’s top 100 media and entertainment companies by scale. It is the definitive media power list for the UK today. We have analysed audited data on the 100 largest media and entertainment companies in the UK. Collectively they generate £87bn in annual revenue. We project they will break the £100bn level within the next five years. This is a transformative period for the media and entertainment industry. In a year when the fundamental purpose of the BBC was challenged, when physical book sales in the UK actually rose against expectations, when the Independent became the first national newspaper to move completely online, and when half of the world’s top 10 ten best-selling music artists were from the UK, we can see waves of change washing over many different media and entertainment sectors.

  • The Development of the UK Television News Industry 1982 - 1998
    -iì~ '1,,J C.12 The Development of the UK Television News Industry 1982 - 1998 Thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Alison Preston Deparent of Film and Media Studies University of Stirling July 1999 Abstract This thesis examines and assesses the development of the UK television news industry during the period 1982-1998. Its aim is to ascertain the degree to which a market for television news has developed, how such a market operates, and how it coexists with the 'public service' goals of news provision. A major purpose of the research is to investigate whether 'the market' and 'public service' requirements have to be the conceptual polarities they are commonly supposed to be in much media academic analysis of the television news genre. It has conducted such an analysis through an examination of the development strategies ofthe major news organisations of the BBC, ITN and Sky News, and an assessment of the changes that have taken place to the structure of the news industry as a whole. It places these developments within the determining contexts of Government economic policy and broadcasting regulation. The research method employed was primarily that of the in-depth interview with television news management, politicians and regulators: in other words, those instrumental in directing the strategic development within the television news industry. Its main findings are that there has indeed been a development of market activity within the television news industry, but that the amount of this activity has been limited by the particular economic attributes of the television news product.
