Share Share ShareShare

As COVID-19 created havoc in India and the world, political leaders, industries, and brands rose to the occasion to tackle the virus. An analysis of news headlines emanating out of India showed who occupied the center-stage. There was the emergence of old brands and new as they jostled to find space during this time.

Dharma Media Consultants, a boutique brand-building company, in partnership with a technology company, PRM Fincon, has released a report on how COVID-19 primarily occupied news space, with the major newsmakers emerging from Coronavirus-related news. We scanned 75,000 headlines across about 15 mainstream news sources using Artificial Intelligence techniques and identified, extracted, and classified the top newsmakers from each category. In the month-long data crunching exercise, the report shows the performance of brands that proffers valuable insights into corporates as they prepare to do business in a new world.

We found that out of the total 75,000 headlines, 24.5% of headlines were related to COVID-19 in pre-Lockdown (from March 1), the number increased to 42.2% during Lockdown 1.0 and 2.0 and dropped slightly to 32% in Lockdown 3.0 (till May 10).

The total number of COVID-19 headlines was 7,455 in Pre-Lockdown, it jumped to 16,505 in the height of the Lockdown period (1.0 and 2.0), and fell to 1,660 till the middle of Lockdown 3.0.

Shutapa Paul, Founder, Dharma Media Consultants: “Our aim with this report was to find who and what were the newsmakers from before Lockdown 1.0 till Lockdown 3.0 induced by Coronavirus. The COVID-19 outbreak and its fallout are historic; and in these extraneous circumstances, the news cycles also projected unique findings. There were interesting findings in our month-long data crunching exercise with some surprises and a few news disrupters as well.”
