Team Players
A Look beyond the "stars" of the media business to the unsung but
important cogs in the entertainment engine.
(The team - everyone extols its virtues but rarely
do the parts that make up that successful whole get a mention. We
at indiantelevision.com believe it's necessary to change all that
and look beyond the "stars" of the media and entertainment business.
"Team Players" will profile emerging media professionals and personalities
from the television, advertising, media and marketing sectors. It
is the contribution of the mid-level management professionals that
often goes unnoticed that we want to draw attention to. For they are
key cogs in the wheels that run these huge media machines.)
