Consumer Behavior and Technology are disrupting the Media Industry For a very long time, an average person used to wake up and see a newspaper or watch a news bulletin to get a glimpse of the local and world news. With the proliferation of the social and mobile media, the news is available to you round the clock and on demand.You don’t wait for a newspaper or a television channel to give you the news.You get news when you want it or in the case of push/alerts news, when you need it.
The business of newspaper and television is to create an audience based on great content and brand loyalty and the commercial operation monetized that audience by selling advertising. Advertisers were attracted to these media because they offered large, homogenous and profiled audiences based on the positioning and reach of the medium in question.
The internet has changed everything, almost. Audience became fragmented and the competition for the news industry has changed beyond recognition. Now anyone with a smartphone and an Internet connection can report news. So did the news consumption, it moved to social and mobile channels that did not exist a decade ago. Based on the survey conducted by the Pew Research Center in Feb 2016, Facebook led the pack of social networks where most of the US adults get their news followed by Twitter and 9 YouTube .

This behavior will become pervasive as the global middle class 4 grows from 1.8 billion people in 2009 to an estimated 4.9 billion in 2030 . The demand for new media services focusing on convenience, education, premium content and video-on-demand will grow.
Users appreciate having someone to curate content for Global middle class grows from 1.8 them, similar to what an editor would do with a billion people in 2009 to an newspaper or a bulletin. Innovative reading experiences 4. estimated 4.9 billion in 2030 and native advertising platforms are reaching new and savvy audiences, enhancing the user experience and allowing publishers to charge a premium to advertisers.

What is the Impact?
As the media consumption on all traditional channels go down, it is imperative that the business models have to be reimagined and innovation is not optional anymore. The newspaper industry is trending the wrong way with both circulation and total ad spend going down. Newspapers in 2015 had perhaps their worst year since the Great Recession. Daily circulation fell by 7 percent, the most since 2010, while print ad revenues declined 20 another 8 percent . Traditional brands have the advantage of credibility and heritage but new brands have a vibrancy and responsiveness that is often leading the way in innovation and new formats.
Three billion people are currently online, with another billion be added by 2020, most of those in the developing world and almost exclusively on mobile devices. The new age of interaction on social media platforms and more recently the surge of messaging applications keeps adding to that growth while at the same time presenting very real risks too. Broadcasters with websites used to have two separate newsrooms in the past, driving costs, ensuring inefficiencies, guaranteeing duplication. Now most of them have already merged into one combined newsroom, although other processes -commissioning, news gathering and post-production - are still done very much separately.
With proliferation of news sources, with the rise of social network-powered aggregators, it’s clear that most news providers will find it harder and harder to get the majority of their digital audience go directly to their platform. Users are more likely to consume the provided content off platform, selecting from dozens of competing sources.
Kevin Kelly, who is a co-founder and former executive editor of Wired magazine, says we will have an ecosystem of filters, human and algorithmic, where personalization will increasingly be part of the process of how we produce and consume news. Text and images will come together to form a new kind of media. Technology is less about the new than about recombining in new ways. The value in remixing is to create more possibilities. With virtual reality, we’re moving from having information at any time to the sharing of experiences.
There is some good news: news readers, whether in print, online or on tablet, are highly engaged. They are engaged with the content longerup to 40 minutes a session in the

For an organization to be ready to face the challenges of the current marketplace, it is important to undertake a digital transformation initiative.
The organization will have a centralized, data-driven infrastructure and management (cloud services, digitized catalog of content). Around this core, there will be independent units that can move fast to create new products across different platforms or apps.
Robust, cloud-based technologies are getting cheaper by the year, making content creation, distribution, and presentation far easier. Brands can be created with far less capital, as the social sphere rewards work that captures imaginations at marginal cost. It’s social, mobile, infographic-loving, and sponsorship-friendly for starters.
Ecosystems are increasingly important in the digital economy.They are becoming essential to creating new relationships and capabilities, leveraging new technologies, and accelerating innovation. By collaborating across the ecosystem of partners and institutions, companies can create new opportunities to address consumer needs in the B2B and B2C spaces. Technical platforms that allow devices, applications, data, products, and services to work together in new ways become a core part of the overall business strategy.
El País, the highest-circulation daily newspaper in Spain, has also completely revamped its newsroom structure and placed digital distribution at its core, literally. Editors have created a digital distribution desk focused on audience measurement, social engagement and SEO and placed it in the physical center of its newsroom, surrounded by the company’s other verticals and departments.

To thrive in the digital era, media companies will need to be leaner, nimbler and more open to working with ecosystem partners. To engage new audiences, media businesses will need to partner with consumers to co-create and crowdsource material. With improved connectivity, data collection and analytics, content creators are now able to take advantage of this to harness their audience’s ideas when creating shows. The ubiquity of social media and smartphones now gives content creators far greater power to create new storylines almost in real time. Enabling audiences to interact with content creators has the potential to build more loyalty and engagement with the content, particularly if seamless second-screen support for an interactive, community-based experience can be designed.

The Solution, Integrated Newsroom
Overall media consumption is on the rise driven by a rising amount of time spent on digital consumption. With increased digital usage, more media companies will offer digital alternatives, further propelling the overall shift to digital-media consumption. To effectively serve the audience and keep them engaged, an integrated newsroom is necessary.
In the traditional model (Newsroom 1.0), there were multiple media newsrooms with dedicated editorial resources for each platform that is serviced by the publishing houses. There were separate editorial units for the print edition and for the online site and the content generation, editing and production is by and large divided between the print and the online world. With the online revolution, there was need for a new model for the newsroom (Newsroom 2.0), the content gatherers generate the content for all channels served by the editorial department.
The pervasiveness of mobile and social made it necessary to change the model for the newsroom to a more integrated once with integrations across various channels. An Integrated Newsroom (Newsroom 3.0), provide content on multiple channels by integrating the complete news flow across print and digital media from the planning to the production.

Opportunities Ahead

And they can struggle to create effective new digital channels that will attract new customers.
