Newspapers have begun to employ such technologies to bolster audience numbers and to attract more advertisers. The comparison of the old revenue model of newspapers with a new emerging business model utilizing newer technologies allows a framework of a possibly new model to be applied to older models. Media are desperate to gain audiences lost in the past decade and trying to reformulate their current business models to reflect new technology. The way media are framing the third screen as a possible savior to their current business model shows that the media realize the old model of revenue through advertising and subscriptions is antiquated. This paper presents a new business model for media by embracing new technologies and adds to current scholarship of media management in a new technologically inclined world.展开更多

Likewise, the country that experienced film viewing in the very early years of the development of world cinema for more than hundred years bad eventually lagged behind those African countries exposed to cinematic arts a few decades ago; but now relatively ascending to its historical status. These days, over hundred films are produced on annual bases in Ethiopia. Nevertheless, articles, books, and encyclopedias written on African and world cinema do not as such include the Ethiopian account, hence adversely affecting the wholeness of universal knowledge. This research thus attempts to investigate the socio-economic and political impacts that governed the development of the Ethiopian screen media during imperial era (1897-1974). The inconsistency in the development of Ethiopian cinema will be analyzed and demonstrated in conjunction with the socio-economic and political features in the era of Emperor Menelik II, Lij Iyasu, Empress Zewditu, and Emperor Haile Sellassie. The study will portray the strong link between Cinema and mode of productions that would be of a scholastic benefit to the Ethiopian and the international academia. The article hopefully, will contribute to the historiography and completeness of African screen median in particular, and world cinema in general.展开更多
