The Growth of the Network Media Economy in Canada, 1984-2012

Excellent read for anyone interested in the economics of the Canadian media industry. It's a long read with outstanding analysis. More must-read work from Mr. Winseck.

Quick takeaways:

-Newspapers and landlines are the only segments of the industry that are really in decline.

-Music industry is on its way up

-All this nonsense about cord-cutting is way overblown. Instead of Netflix and others taking a chunk out of the existing pie, the pie simply got bigger. A lot bigger.
