Hurricane Maria impacted Puerto Rico’s media ecosystem in many profound ways: As the broadband infrastructure was cut, broadcasters were forced to deliver their signals over-the-air, via wireless and satellite. Access to viewership data became impossible for media planning. Brands quickly mobilized to help consumers in their communities. Radio become essential as did outdoor display along with the printed page. Today, digital consumption is booming as is e-commerce on the island.
Lessons learned from the disaster/recovery and their implications for the global media world will be explored in this session at the Beet Retreat on November 28 at 5:00 pm. at the El San Juan Hotel.
