Executive Summary
This year’s report adopts a new format that highlights insights from digital leaders on the key issues facing the media industry and combines them with five forward-looking contributions from the Reuters Institute. The central objective is to provide valuable insights for 2020 and identify the main trends.
The disruptions of mobile phones and social networks have defined the last ten years, which fragmented attention, undermined business models based on advertising, and weakened journalism’s watchdog role. Similarly, social and political disruptions have precious trust in journalism and, in several countries, led to attacks on independent media.
The next decade will be the increasing internet regulation, plus attempts to regain trust in journalism and a closer connection with audiences.
The next wave of technological disruption will also be impacted by automation through artificial intelligence, big data (gathering and analyzing large volumes of data), and new visual and voice-based interfaces.
And all this is against the backdrop of economic and political uncertainty that will imply more challenges for the sustainability media.
But How Do Industry Leaders See This Year?
- Most media executives say they are confident in their companies’ prospects but much less sure about the future of journalism. The provision of local information is a central concern, along with fears of declining trust and political attacks on journalism.
- The majority (85%) think the media should do more to fight lies and half-truths.
- Publishers continue to bet heavily on revenue from readers: half say that will be their primary source. Around a third (35%) think advertising and readership revenue will be equally important, with just one in seven (14%) pinning their hopes on advertising alone
