Production has begun on our flagship annual, The Media Yearbook, after a year of unprecedented upheaval, pain and disruption.
Everything we thought was true or was forecast to take place during 2020 was tossed out of the window and trampled underfoot barely three months into the year. The Olympic Games. Gone. Live sport on TV. Gone. Events. Gone. Awards ceremonies. Gone.
Some companies survived and even thrived, others shockingly shut their doors on trading. Ways of working changed overnight, and digital continued its inexorable takeover. Media businesses across the world had to adapt to a world where an unseen enemy that is far from vanquished drives everything.
What will 2021 look like for media? We honestly don’t know. What we do know is that our sector is resilient, innovative and never-say-die. It has revived, is recalibrating and is emerging refreshed.
It is these stories we want to tell in The Media Yearbook 2021. Revive. Recalibrate. Refresh.
As always, our contributors are drawn from the around the world as well as from South Africa and Africa, giving our readers a wider view and different perspectives on the world of media as we face the unknown in 2021.
