Media Moments 2020 report launch, how a niche B2B title navigated Covid, and more
Rounding up 2020’s top media moments
As another year comes to a close, we’re pleased to announce the release of our annual report Media Moments 2020, written by the Media Voices team and sponsored by Permutive.
From the collapse of events to the boom in subscriptions and shifting trust in journalism, this report explores how 2020’s defining moments have changed the media landscape, and what the future holds for 2021 and beyond.
This is our third year of Media Moments, and it’s safe to say it’s been the most eventful yet in terms of the forces that have shaped publishing businesses. It has given many of us an opportunity to reflect and reset long-held strategies and beliefs, hopefully for the better.
Talking of reports, as part of our mission to create more relevant and valuable content for our readers, we’re inviting you to fill out a short survey which should take just a couple of minutes to complete. It will help shape what subject areas we need to focus on in 2021 and the report topics that are of greatest interest.
