MEDIA

The media play a significant role as the communicator of opinions and information. They entertain, educate and offer a central forum for cultural work. That has long applied to traditional media such as film and music, television, radio, the press and books, which are not only objects of cultural value, but also a significant economic factor.

New media, first and foremost the internet, have developed a dynamism of their own. The internet realises the ideal of borderless communication. The digitalisation and convergence of media produce additional economic momentum. Broad-band infrastructures facilitate the transmission of all kinds of digital contents and applications. They allow innovative forms of multimedia communication and open up extended fields of activity for the media industry, creating space for new business models. Video on demand and virtual games worlds, for example, are becoming very profitable.
