4. “If I knew for sure, then we would know exactly
what to do. I think traditional media in
combination with social media will have a
strong position. A lot of consumption will be
digital in some way, but many people won't
want to choose all the time and will still need to
be fed and looked after. Therefore I think that
listening to radio will still be strong in the
future because of the medium's immediacy. We
have to develop traditional terrestrial
broadcasting along with finding new ways to
reach the audience on other platforms. The
smartphone, mobile, will be the number one
gadget for media consumption.”
(Cilla Benkö, DG SR and EBU ExBo)

living room still being the primary viewing

(Anthony Edgar, Head of Media Operations, IOC)
6. “Voraciously. Personally. „Mobile-ly‟. Diversely.
Beyond that the honest answer is that I don't

(Charlie Beckett, POLIS LSE)
7. “Through glowing rectangles, like today, only

(Ben Hammersley, Journalist, author, technologist)
16. “With the possible exception of the UK, there
has been a steady decline in weekly reach and
listening times over the years in most
countries.”
(Music in the Multiplatform Age, EBU 2012)
18. “The people formerly known as the audience
are those who were on the receiving end of a
media system that ran one way, in a
broadcasting pattern, with high entry fees and
a few firms competing to speak very loudly
while the rest of the population listened in
isolation from one another— and who today
are not in a situation like that at all.”
(Jay Rosen, 2006)
