January 2014

Welcome to the January 2014 edition of The Newsreel, Ernst & Young’s newsletter on the media and entertainment (M&E) industry.

India’s M&E industry saw increased activity in the TV segment, with several new developments and channel launches. Zee Entertainment has absorbed the media business of Diligent Media Corporation. Reliance Broadcast Network and CBS Studios have ended their JV operations. Zee Media Corporation is launching two new channels, Zee Purvaiya and Zee Kalinga, while TV18 Broadcast and Viacom18 are launching CNBC Bazaar, a Gujarati-business news channel, and MTV Indies, an indie-music channel, respectively.

The TV segment also saw new regulations as the Cabinet approved new TV rating guidelines. With the Cabinet’s clearance, the MIB will now have regulatory control over TV ratings agencies in India. However, the new rating guidelines may result in a dark period for ratings,

Media India launching Carat Fresh Rural, the rural division of Carat Fresh Integrated, and WPP’s subsidiary Grey acquiring a majority stake in RC&M, one of India’s largest rural communication and marketing service providers.

This month, we explore the news segment and the future of news in India, given all the changes taking place in the segment. This edition of Newsreel includes a feature on the Integrated Newsroom and discusses its concept and applicability. We also present the views of Bhaskar Das of Zee News on evolving trends in the news sector and the way forward from here on.

I&B Ministry mulls curbs on MSOs

The Information and Broadcasting (I&B) Ministry is actively looking at restricting the monopolistic practices of MSOs by putting a 50% cap on their market share, to protect plurality and diversity of content. This is in the wake of the blackout of two TV channels, Times Now and India News, in Uttar Pradesh by cable operators controlled by MSOs that are allegedly under political pressure.7

in the case of other newspaper launches, this was also preceded by price cuts made by incumbent players. Prabhat Khabar pushed down its price to INR2.50 from INR3, and Hindustan and Dainik Jagran from to INR4 to INR2.50. With the prospect of a fourth player entering the market, the incumbents are looking to grow their circulation. This is expected to push up printing costs, and since the selling prices of most newspapers are not able to recover their printing costs, they are banking on a growth in advertising.10

UFO Moviez to take digital cinema to Indian subcontinent

UFO Movies is scouting for partners in Pakistan, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh who will deploy its technology in these countries. The company is in talks with some interested parties and is looking at forming JVs or technology partnerships with them. However, it does not intend to have a direct presence in any of these countries and is shoring up its international presence, since the domestic market has become nearly saturated. It expects all existing cinema screens in India to become digital in the next six months.11

7 The Newsreel

India’s television industry continues to grow at a rapid pace on the back of digitization and the growth of the advertising sector. The number of licensed channels has more than doubled from ~300 in 2006 to over 700. This increase in competitive intensity results in channels having to continuously adapt their businesses to stay ahead of their competitors.

Nowhere is this more evident than in the news broadcasting sector, with nearly 50% of all channels currently operating in the news and information space. While the impact of subscription revenue and reduced carriage fees has begun to kick in, news channels are dealing with rising content and production costs, coupled with growing competition from content on digital platforms including the web and mobile.

Even in the print sector, there have been a host of new

The following key factors have put newsroom-related integration squarely on top of the agenda of major news companies:

�demand, on the go and multiple devices) and the same consumer is accessing news across different devices and formats.

International experience

The news industry in developed economies is facing an even more acute crisis. With the print sector contracting, many consumers are “cutting the cord” for cable networks and content is increasingly being consumed over the web, and on mobile phones and tablets. This poses a dilemma for old news companies.

1. Should they continue to operate in their traditional mediums of choice and focus on extracting the most out of loyal readers and/or viewers?

2. Should they transition to a more brand- or content- focused approach and deliver news, irrespective of the platform?

Some examples of how various news companies have deployed integrated newsrooms: 18

BBC has e-organized its news department in a series of initiatives as part of its Delivering Quality First (DQF) program. Its key changes include integration of its radio, TV and interactive news departments. It has recognized the growing importance of social media and moved its team to the center of the newsroom.

It has put in place a matrix-based organizational structure with 30% “verticalists focused on one title/ publication) and 70% “horizontalists” targeting themes including politics, economy, sports, etc.

These companies have approached integration in different ways — looking at deployment of resources, costs, technology, their news gathering efforts, etc. One

“services” for different news vehicles is the starting point, but this could remain theoretical unless it is backed by the top management of businesses and each channel.

However, it is a complex and time-consuming exercise with implications across several functions including technology, people, skills-sets and business processes. For example, how do you track costs and allocate shared effort to multiple channels and publications?

Therefore, integrating newsrooms is a concerted, enterprise-wide program, with each function leading individual streams that come together to achieve the ultimate objective.

However, media houses are evolving and innovating to manage their margins by implementing the following measures:

Integration of networks is a major step toward reducing costs and increasing revenues, and

like ours is continuously evolving to put in place systems, sharing resources to bring down costs, be it sharing of OB vans, developing common news programming for all channels, having a common input desk, etc.

players. It will also help different platforms in news organizations produce high-quality content and reduce content-creation costs.

News organizations are continuously looking at reducing and optimizing their costs. This primarily includes their taking a rational approach to employee-related expenses. The logistics cost of news gathering has also come down with their learning of the past 10 years making broadcasters wiser from experience and technological advancements in the news sphere. This helps us reduce our overall operating expenses.

Moreover, apart from cost and quality, a common news engine would also present opportunities for integrated sales and thereby help the top-lines of companies.

3. expect in implementation of a common news engine?

The biggest challenge will be shaking people, who are accustomed to existing systems, out of their slumber. It will be an uphill task to change the attitudes of employees to a multiple platform news and

together.

The second set of challenges will be related to technology and how it pans out. While international groups such as BBC have experimented with a common news input and delivery system, their full import is still to be analyzed. Furthermore, given the past phase of growth in the technological space, it will be a challenge to adopt an evolving model.

current industry capabilities, a regional language reporter may not be a good English newspaper reporter or be able to generate digital English content, or vice versa.

For ZMCL, there is an additional challenge — our different channels were launched on different dates

immediately, although integration of mind and content have started happening, albeit at a slow pace.

While it is good to look at a common news engine in

With the possibility of the advertisement cap being reduced in the near future, Co-created Contextualised Conversation (CCC) will be a major source of revenue from clients looking at providing customized communication to evolved viewers. Monetization of content and organization of events, which were till recently limited to business channels and newspapers, are set to garner the lion’s share in the overall revenues of broadcasters in times to come. Large organizations are also looking at integrating their sales forces to sell bouquets of inventory from all verticals — print, online and TV.

With the cable digitization wave set to make a splash in the near future, organizations are expecting further consolidation in subscription revenues. This is likely to boost our margins.

2. Is the time ripe for a common news engine that offers news across different media including print, TV, internet, mobile, etc?

Yes, the time is ripe for a common news engine because consumers of content are gravitating toward a truly platform-agnostic consumption model. While the digital domain — online and mobile — will churn out real time news, TV and print will ensure that an evolved consumer gets an in-depth coverage of news. While online will produce real time news, TV and print will provide analyses and views.

Since the cost of news gathering is an important determinant of how the bottom line of a company shapes, a common news engine is likely to help the cause of optimization of overall costs in terms of manpower and logistics. Furthermore, since quality will set apart a network, a common new engine would ensure that good quality content is made available across all platforms.

13 The Newsreel

long term, we are also looking at a situation when we have the same content across different platforms. One of the biggest challenges will be to offer differentiated output, even as the input remains the same across all platforms. This would need quick thinking and customization of content.

4. What are the key trends you are expecting in news generation and consumption?

One of the key questions every media house needs to ask is how it will treat curated content. We are seeing many active recipients of news turning into news

It is going to be news by me, for me. We all have to address the new form of journalism, which is largely driven by social media and an overload of information. Traditional methods of journalism are being tested and only organizations that can go beyond information will survive. People are asking why they need an intermediary in the form of media when they are getting information directly from the primary source. We will have to add value as intermediaries or else there is a survival question. Today, the consumer and more so the content is king.

news, we will see the emergence of many niche news delivery platforms. For example, a platform that is only for dog lovers in Delhi and one that is only for morning walkers in Mumbai are not a distant possibility.

5. Is there a case for increased collaboration between different news companies?

Resources need to be complementary for news organizations to come together and a mechanism has to be developed wherein there is appropriate sharing of costs. However, for large media houses with a large presence across platforms, this already is happening through a common news engine.
