Survey Overview

About Deloitte's
“State of the Media Democracy” Survey
• This is the third edition of research that was commissioned
by Deloitte’s Media & Entertainment practice – and the irst
to focus on consumers across ive international markets.

• Focusing on four generations, the survey provides a “reality
check” on how consumers between the ages of 14 and 75
are interacting with media, entertainment, and information
— and what their preferences might be in the future.

• Fielded by an independent research irm from September
17th – October 20th, 2008, the survey employed an online
methodology among 8,824 consumers:
Brazil: 1,022
Germany: 1,882
Japan:1,841
United Kingdom:2,023
United States:2,056

• Several companies have continued to help us shape the
survey and discussed the initial results with us.
• For meaningful differences, we look for differences in year-
over-year tracking and generations of at least 5 percentage
points. For data in hours, we look for year-over-year
differences of 0.5 hours and 1.5 hours when comparing
generations.
• We will repeat the Survey annually to spot emerging trends
and changes in behavior and technologies.
Why a Media Democracy?
Because this is a global age in which everybody contributes –
not just the traditional media companies.

Empowered by new technologies, customers now "vote“
through their actions for new sorts of content, new access
devices, distribution platforms, advertising models, and pricing
schemes.
