Introduction to the 2020 Progress Report: The New Normal

The global Coronavirus disease (COVID) has paved the way for new ways of content delivery to audiences. In the last few months of the crisis, technological advancements have been key to enabling media companies to continue to fulfill their role in creating and delivering content to audiences in a number of new ways. Many companies had to gear up for an unprecedented acceleration in their digital transformation by implementing new workflows in operation, both remote and distributed production, and leveraging their assets in archives when new productions were interrupted. In this year’s Progress Report, we highlight the many organizations that have developed technology foundations that made it possible to quickly create and adopt new ways of operating in these challenging times. These organizations have coined the definition of the “new normal” to cope with the crisis by developing further new technology standards and best practices for the future of the media industry.
