In an increasingly cluttered media landscape, an elite group of brands stand out:
newspapers, magazines and broadcasters with longevity, power, and instant brand
recognition. How have they succeeded? What marketing strategies have enabled them
to thrive and survive in such a spectacular fashion? Journalist and author Mark
Tungate takes us behind the scenes to reveal what it takes to be a great media brand.
Using history, anecdotes and exclusive interviews with senior management and editors, Media
Monoliths attempts to identify the magic formula that has enabled a handful of media
giants to dominate the global media landscape.
