Risks and concerns

• Fading demand for broadcasting- Viewer appetite is growing. Viewers are interested in watching more than only traditional broadcasting. Broadcasters must make their content available on all platforms that can carry it. Traditional broadcasting should be complemented by new media, such as YouTube, mobile TV, and similar venues.
• Compliance with laws and regulations- The media industry finds it exceedingly challenging to comply with all applicable laws and adhere to all rules and regulations, within the specified time frames. Legal compliance is crucial since it protects companies from lawsuits and financial losses while also allowing for the detection of infractions. However, fining them might be difficult as rules are constantly changing.
• Harassment and bullying- Although the media sector has been working cooperatively to support a more inclusive workplace, it is apparent that more needs to be done to create a safe, respected atmosphere. Bullying is widespread and can take the form of intentional or accidental targeting, misuse or abuse of power, threats of violence and insulting behavior, and more. In addition to bullying, mental and physical harassment in the media industry is very common.
• Piracy and copyright- Many people have started stealing and altering the content available on various online platforms to make it appear like their original work, then uploading it to make money. This is another major concern for the entertainment sector.
