About Deloitte’s State of the Media Democracy survey

The sixth edition of Deloitte’s annual State of the Media Democracy survey provides unique generational insight into how consumers interact with technology, purchase products, respond to advertising — and what they’ll likely be drawn to in the future.

The survey is commissioned by Deloitte’s Technology, Media and Telecommunications practice, and is the fourth in the series to focus on consumers across several international markets.

  • The annual survey is designed to identify emerging trends in media, technology and telecommunications, highlight changes in consumer behavior, and provide information about consumer perceptions of existing and emerging tech- and telecom- related products as well as media programming and content.
  • Focusing on four generations and five distinct age groups, the survey examines how consumers between the ages of 14 and 75 interact with media, entertainment, advertising and information—and what their preferences might be in the future.
  • Fielded by an independent contractor between September 27 and October 21, 2011 the survey employed an online methodology among nearly 2,000 U.S. consumers.
  • Executives in sectors as disparate as publishing, film production, broadcasting, telecommunications and device manufacturing continue to help shape the survey and review the results.

The State of the Media Democracy survey offers solid data and deep insight into dozens of evolving trends. It can provide critical insights for helping companies make smart, well-timed business decisions and investments.
