Description
The Media Business for Pioneers is a unique guide for publishers, media owners, marketing experts, media managers and anybody else interested in how the business idea of media production really works.
This book was written with the media producers of post-revolutionary Tunisia, Libya and Egypt in mind. However it is also a hands-on guide useful to all media producers working in developing economies and post conflict countries.
This handbook also emphasizes just how important privately-owned, non-partisan media are to the democratic process; it suggests that a more careful look at the long-term financial viability of such newspapers, radio and TV stations and magazines in transitional countries is needed.
An Arabic version of this book will be available soon!
Thomas Koch is one of the publishers of this book and also the major contributor. He is also one of the founders of Plural Media Services, a media agency which services, trains and works with independent media in conflict and post-conflict zones.
Koch has over 40 years experience in the media business. After working in media planning at GGK Media in Dusseldorf and Ted Bates in Frankfurt, he established his own business, thomaskochmedia, in 1987. In 2002, his company merged with Starcom and as tkmStarcom, became the seventh largest media agency in Germany. In 2007, Koch left the business and joined the board of independent media agency, Crossmedia, in Dusseldorf.
In 1995 German business magazine, Capital, named him one of the country’s preeminent masterminds of the advertising industry. In 2004, Media & Marketing Europe listed him as one of the 15 individuals who had most changed the European advertising scene. In 2008, he was named Media Person of the Year at the 10th anniversary of the German Media Awards.
And in May 2011, the jury at the SignsAwards awarded him a “sign of the times†for his work in conflict and post-conflict zones.
