News of the World phone hacking is a big issue in the media industry at this moment in time. This may have impact on my products. Although the News of the World is a newspaper, it may affect the magazine industry aswell as they are the same publishing, journalism products. Film reviews won't be able to be used in magazines to advertise my movie, posters won't be able to be used in magazines which decreases the choice of location when putting up posters for the movie. And the magazine cover won't be able to be used if magazines are being closed down due to phone hacking. Even if magazines don't stop being published, it will still have an impact because if people are resigning, there will be problems with the reputation of the magazine and people may not purchase it.
The prices of downloads and mobile phone minutes and messaging are all decreasing. This will put a positive impact on my movie because people may wish to download my movie trailer, poster or magazine cover. They are more likely to do this now since the prices are decreasing.
