The three ages of media

The last decade has not been a good time for traditional media businesses. The story – of rapidly declining core revenues, sluggish digital growth and audience loss to nimble digital natives – is well documented and has claimed a number of high profile victims. In the traditional age, media publishers (e.g. TV broadcasters, newspaper groups, music majors) had three important roles: financing content creation, marketing the content to generate an audience, and distribution.

Those that have survived the first stages of this transition have invested significantly to reinvent themselves. However, OC&C research shows that the media industry now stands at the cusp of a third era – the platform age – which has the potential to be every bit as disruptive as the digital transition.
