He shared that Covid-19 pandemic is disrupting every industry, media industry is not an exception. It has  created both opportunities and challenges. On one hand, social distancing has led to an increase in at-home media consumption and an upswing in numbers to news providers for timely and trusted information. At the same time, some of the most valuable programmes —such as live sports are being cancelled or postponed, leading to spending reallocations by advertisers and drop in income for media companies.
