Overview
Media landscape of Singapore derives contribution from Film & Video, Broadcasting, Publishing and Games segments
The media industry of Singapore consists of films, the broadcasting of television, games, animation and online videos. It is considered a sub-segment of the overall Info-Comm and Media sector, which also includes telecommunication and IT communications. The sector as a whole reported an overall expansion of 2.1% in 2020 and contributed 0.1% towards the country’s GDP, with the media segment contributing 0.9% towards real GDP growth.
The media landscape revolves around creating original content and promoting proficient talent in the industry. In 2018, the games segment recorded the largest contribution of 35.5% towards media industry revenue. This was followed closely by the broadcasting segment, recording 26.5%, the Film & Video segment contributing 20.8% and the publishing segment contributing 17.2%.
The country’s film, animation, broadcast, publishing, and interactive media and games segments have been globally acknowledged for their high quality and cutting-edge innovation. The key priorities of the infocomm media ecosystem are research, innovation, talent and enterprise. The four main ground-breaking technology prospects that Singapore will be developing are Cybersecurity,Immersive Media, the Internet of Things (IoT) and Artificial Intelligence (AI).
Industry highly regulated, with strict controls on online content
The Info-Сomm Media Development Authority (IMDA) is a statutory agency appointed by the Ministry of Communications and Information (MCI) in Singapore that is dedicated to regulating the media industry. It overlooks and sets content guidelines and classifications on the platforms pertaining to Arts Entertainment, TV and Radio, Video Games, Audio Materials and Publications, Films and Videos, and the internet.
The IMDA classifies media content using various ratings that help the public make informed choices on the age-appropriateness of the material. This is particularly useful to provide parents with the necessary information to guide their children to watch appropriate content. Likewise, the government takes the initiative to protect the younger generation from detrimental online content by regulating it. The media literacy council and the private sector work in close liaison with the government towards the development of codes of practice, robust cyber initiatives and media proficiency.
The ‘foreign interference’ law that was passed in late 2021 was believed to especially affect the broadcasting and independent media outlets of the media industry that were already subjected to strict regulation. The law penalizes any individual who publishes information on behalf of foreign entities, with a fine of up to SGD 100,000 and a jail term of 14 years, where affiliation isn’t declared. In the case of business entities, there is a maximum fine of SGD 1 million.
Similarly, in 2019 an act known as the Protection from Online Falsehoods and Manipulation Act (POFMA) was brought in to confront false information and order that it either be taken down or have a correction issued.
There are believed to be strict controls on the freedom of expression in the city-state due to the stringent regulations, strict licensing required, defamation statutes and censorship in the industry.
Media industry dominated by duopoly
Singapore Press Holdings (SPH) produces a number of newspapers, websites and magazines, while Mediacorp administers numerous television channels and radio stations. Both organisations cater towards online media as well. Press media is also closely monitored and regulated by the political party in power. Further, there are stringent criminal penalties in place for speech involving religious insensitivity.
Singapore Media Festival (SMF) organised by IMDA takes media talent to the international stage
The SMF continues to provide a platform for various industry figures to recognise the current movement, expertise and content of films, TV and digital media in Asia. It is one of the leading media events in the region. The festival focuses on building international relations and business opportunities, serving as a valuable platform for Singapore to establish itself as a media hub, while promoting its local content creators.
Further, it enables better monetisation opportunities and expansion for the overseas sector. The festival consists of workshops, mentorship programmes and engaging sessions to aid the different segments within the industry.
Key Trends
Viewer engagement of news websites and channels heightened during pandemic; but insufficient to mitigate the decline in ad revenue
The circuit breaker period created a buzz of activity in the media industry during the first half of 2020. The main medium of information was the news, as Singaporeans were heavily reliant upon it for information on the pandemic, and public service briefings on safe distancing and sanitation measures.
The IMDA reported a 73% increase in audience across MediaCorp’s channels in various dialects from March to mid-April of 2020, in comparison to the same period of 2019. Likewise, the audience for Channel News Asia (CNA) received 52 million exclusive views during the period, while the digital readership of SPH expanded to 2.5 million site visitors.
However, there were strains on the financial health of media companies due to a persistent decline in advertising revenue, as well as the elimination or reduction in printed editions of news articles. This eventually led to bankruptcy, pay cuts and downsizing of firms.
Digital disruption results in subscription-based media consumption gaining momentum
There is a new dynamic emerging in the industry in the form of digital tools that are moulding the way people access and absorb content. While virtual reality and AI remain valid to the industry, the art of conveying a compelling story is the critical success factor for media and advertising companies. Technology is a key change agent of the media landscape, and it is imperative that content creators are technologically savvy and up to date.
Digital disruption caused by 5G is yet another breakthrough for the industry. Therefore, there is a requirement for local talent to be technologically savvy and up to date with the dynamic technological changes. The government also pledges to encourage innovation through the Infocomm Media 2025 plan, where optimal network connectivity, interesting local media content and state-of-the-art media technology will be the benchmark.
Moreover, the tastes in the industry have altered amid the pandemic, with mobile apps such as Netflix, podcasts and live streaming gaining vast momentum. As a result, subscription-based entertainment has become a new norm in the industry.
