Media industry is undergoing a tremendous transformation where currently the old and the new coexist and are forming the path to the future. There has been a major remodelling of the media vertical in the last decade owing to rapid change in technology and influx of new parameters like interactivity, multiple devices, multiple platforms, digitization and globalization of services, all contributing to the change in the way the media industry works.
