As consumer habits change rapidly here in South Asia as elsewhere around the world, with readers consuming more and more of their content online, traditional business models have come under test. As we slowly but surely veer towards that tipping point where ad-funded business models might need to be supplanted by other evolving and yet-to-be stress-tested sources of revenue, media organisations need to reinvent themselves to be ready for the future.

CVL�s teams are often closest to the minds of brand owners and marketeers who seek to build brands using advertising. As we look to figure out future plans of the media industry, it is critical to understand how those marketeers� needs are changing to understand what we need to do, to be relevant and a critical partner to them into that future.

Gone are the days when the best of the best advertising mind, like a David Ogilvy, would pour their best energies into print advertising. One of the biggest challenges for print advertising today is that the best creative minds are excited most to work on TVCs, and perhaps on the latest interactive digital campaigns. But it is critical to rekindle the magic of print, so that we have outstanding print advertising again, and marketeers get their best returns on print through memorable campaigns and they want to invest more in print. This session poses the question to the best in the industry: to find out what will get an Agnello excited about creating their best work on print...

Publishers would ideally want that consumers should come to their home pages and bookmark them and purposively seek out the top news of the day or the hour. But the rapid growth of news aggregators has shown that consumers are increasingly preferring the idea of getting all their news in one place, much like going to multi-brand hypermarkets. While the aggregator platforms try to provide multiple benefits to the news consumer � multiple languages, news summaries, etc. � the publishers continue to do the core primary job of news gathering, checking, editing, curation, - and all of that costs money. What is the way that there can be a sustainable co-operation between the two?

The dictionary definition of neutrality is, "The state of not supporting or helping either side in a conflict, disagreement, etc.; impartiality." In this day and age of consumer activism and opinion-based�ecosystem, neutrality is more nuanced and goes beyond the limited definition of dictionary.�Contextual imperative of a prevailing situation, national�interest etc. have contributed to increasing the fogginess of neutrality as a subject. But when subjectivity is injected to the term there is always a possibility of multiple interpretations to suit many ulterior motives.�In today's dynamically evolving socio-economic environment,�it is important to decode all�possible�nuances to neutrality.�Who can do it better than the numero uno of Indian journalism: Arnab Goswami? This is just the trailer. The main picture will be unraveled at 11.45 am on August 11, 2017 in Delhi. Presenting Arnab Goswami Unplugged...Dr. Bhaskar Das would moderate the discussion and facilitate interactions with the delegates.�

The millennial audience doesn't care for news written in the tone and manner that was created for print, but they also care for good journalism. They care for good story-telling that new digital platforms enable, but which old newsrooms need to learn to use. What does content reimagined for shrunk screen sizes, high mobility consumers and people with less attention look like ? If mobile is increasingly where digital audiences are, how do we engage them?

Media companies have under-invested in their own news brands for much of the past century. As fake news floods a borderless platform ecosystem, as governments and sports clubs and companies become their own reporters and editors, and as newspaper and magazine consumer perceptions are tied up more in (declining) print than in journalism, the need to promote the value of news brands is more vital than ever. This is not a simple marketing exercise; it could be the difference between life and death. In this closing session, INMA aims to tie together these trends and recommend a road map for companies and the broader news media industry.
