Me & My Career: Relishing challenges of evolving media industry

SINGAPORE - Many media professionals were affected by the Covid-19 pandemic, with video shoots disrupted and production halted, but Ms Janice Chiang made the most of the situation by helping her company pivot to a new product - live streaming. This helped Big 3 Media keep generating revenue during the circuit breaker last year, as it was able to help clients - government agencies - put out messages. "I had some background in live streaming from years ago, so I used that as an advantage to get the teams to quickly learn the ropes, to go out and sell that," says Ms Chiang, 33, who is head of operations at the media production company. This is just one example of how the media industry is constantly evolving, she says. "People tend to think of media industry jobs as writing, video production, being an actress or actor, but media encompasses way more than that, and it's changing... That's where the exciting part is." For example, viewers now want to interact with videos rather than just watch them, and the gaming industry is growing, she adds. Although media is typically not seen by more traditional parents in the same light as jobs such as law, medicine and engineering, it is a pretty...

Young investors taking on lots of risk, UK regulator warns

LONDON (AFP) - A new generation of young consumers, often influenced by social networks and using trading apps, are plumping for high-risk investments, Britain's financial markets regulator warned on Tuesday (March 23). The Financial Conduct Authority said bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies were in particular seducing these new consumers who acknowledged enjoying the thrill of investing and not being able to absorb their losses. Sheldon Mills, who heads up the consumer and competition division at the FCA, said that many of the investment products meet the needs of consumers. "But we are worried that some investors are being tempted - often through online adverts or high-pressure sales tactics - into buying higher-risk products that are very unlikely to be suitable for them," he said. The FCA's report comes on the heels of retail investors organising on social media to drive up the price of shares of video game store chain GameStop, causing a frenzy on Wall Street as some prominent hedge funds that had speculated on the share price falling got stuck with massive losses. Growing numbers of investing influencers have appeared on social media sites such as Twitter, Reddit, Instagram an...

For their perseverance in tracking Mr Lim, the duo won the Best Scoop award at the annual awards of Singapore Press Holdings' (SPH) Chinese Media Group (CMG), held online yesterday. Mr Nam said: "It's a tremendous privilege to have played a part in this story, and this accolade is also testament to the hard work and dedication the newsroom puts into presenting quality content to our readership."

Name confusion sends ‘wrong’ ClubHouse shares skyrocketing 1,000%

NEW YORK (BLOOMBERG) - ClubHouse Media Group, a self-described marketing and media firm targeting social media influencers, has surged over 1,000 per cent this year as retail traders mixed the company up with a similarly named app. California-based ClubHouse, which changed its name from Tongji Healthcare Group and promoted its influencer and social media focus starting last month, has drawn some confusion among investors. The company shares a name with the buzzy conversation app known as Clubhouse, which is backed by venture-capital firm Andreessen Horowitz and is not publicly traded. ClubHouse shares, which trade under the ticker CMGR, have soared 1,026 per cent this year with its market value ballooning to US$2.5 billion (S$3.3 billion) from just US$225 million in early January, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. That means the over-the-counter traded stock carries twice the last reported value of the audio-chat app, according to Axios. The stock rose 81 per cent on Tuesday (Feb 16) on more than eight times the average volume, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. Trading of ClubHouse shares caught Wall Street's eye on Feb 1 after Elon Musk made his debut on the Andreess...

Cutting off Parler reveals Amazon’s Net clout

elean 13 1 月

3 minutes

NEW YORK • The decision by Amazon.com's cloud unit to pull the plug on social media service Parler highlighted the e-commerce giant's often-overlooked role in powering much of the Internet. Parler went offline late on Sunday after Amazon Web Services (AWS)suspended its account, a potentially crippling blow for the site favoured by right-wing extremists, some of whom advocated violence ahead of last week's riot at the US Capitol. In a letter to Parler seen by Bloomberg, Amazon said the company was unable to effectively keep calls for violence off its platform. The site on Monday sued Amazon, seeking to reverse the action and get back online. Social media companies and smartphone platforms are used to policing content on their sites. After disinformation campaigns marred the 2016 US presidential election, Facebook and Twitter hired thousands of content moderators, and in some cases sought the help of outside advisers, to develop policies and sort through issues, including political falsehoods and hate speech. But Amazon's move to cut off Parler is a reminder that the company wields huge influence over what is seen on the Internet. It is a power the Seattle company rarely uses. AWS, t...

Singapore Press Holdings (SPH) will continue to invest in transforming the media business to keep up with changing consumer habits, especially with the coronavirus pandemic's impact on the business. Its property segment, including purpose-built student accommodation (PBSA) and retail, was also identified as an area for growing recurring income, said SPH chief executive Ng Yat Chung at the company's annual general meeting yesterday.
