Panel discussion: “New Television: The Media Blender ”
Live mashup of traditional TV executives with new media designers. We’ll thrash through the issues and creative opportunities presented by digital media. My own perspective is that TV has a lot to lose in the online environment since broadcasters compete on an equal playing field with an unlimited pool of creative people with low barriers to entry and no traditional business to defend. Obviously a debatable point. Join us and chime in.
