New Media Knowledge

Formats, channels, creators, companies, revenues. There’s a lot that’s been changing in the world of TV. We’ve seen barriers to creating and publishing video-based content disappear, watched as viewing on ever-smaller screens has become popular, experienced the phenomenon of unexpected video stars shooting to fame via home-made footage and seen viewing platforms evolve way past the humble family living-room television. There’s a lot going on for TV while at the same time the future of traditional broadcast TV is far from certain.

There’s a lot to talk about, so be part of the discussion at ‘What Happens to TV?’, part of NMK’s Future of Media series.
