Answer 1

Answer:

• Media is playing an important role in the COVID-19 response, even as it poses challenges to the industry.
• New research shows between 80% and 90% of people consume news and entertainment for an average of almost 24 hours during a typical week.
• The industry faces key challenges in the future of advertising and attention.

The COVID-19 pandemic is disrupting every industry. For the media sector, coronavirus creates both opportunities and challenges.

On the one hand, social distancing has led to a spike in at-home media consumption, and growing numbers are turning to news providers for timely and trusted information on the crisis. At the same time, some of the most valuable broadcast content – such as live sports – is being postponed or cancelled, leading to spending reallocations by advertisers and a subsequent drop in income for media companies.
