"India is one of the world's most important media markets." On the other hand, the concentration of media ownership suggests that only a few people own and control Indian media. Our research looks into media plurality and ownership structures. "This is a crucial endeavor to promote media ownership transparency, which is fundamental to media's reputation and relationship with audiences," said Syed Nazakat, the founder and CEO of DataLEADS. The author claims that "this endeavor will provide a useful data and resource foundation for future media research in the country."
India's media landscape is also shaped by the country's size. The Registrar of Newspapers had over 118,239 publications registered as of March 31, 2018, including over 36,000 weekly magazines, according to the latest recent data. The country has over 550 FM radio stations and over 880 satellite TV channels, according to the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting, with over 380 claiming to deliver "news and current events." The sheer number of news websites available in India is staggering. The country's cultural and ethnic diversity, as well as its large number of media channels, do not, however, automatically translate into a diverse supply. On the other side, the Media Ownership Monitor reveals a clear trend toward content concentration and, ultimately, control.
The media industry is vital to informing and entertaining the general public. While the media industry offers numerous national options to the public, local media outlets are more likely than national sources to present local programming that meets the needs of residents in the market.
While many firms are scrambling to capitalize on new direct-to-consumer channels, few have altered their brand narratives or content development strategies as they migrate from paying others to broadcast their content to use it for direct consumer engagement. Despite the opportunities, few companies — and even fewer of their agencies — appear to have the content, process, and procedures in place to fully profit from direct audience delivery. While the current brand-agency paradigm has been successful in exploiting search and social algorithms to distribute "brand" materials more efficiently, the efforts that have arisen from this approach have failed to deliver on three crucial elements: engagement, efficiency, and scale.
