Session 8
We live in a time where everyone is a content creator and legacy publishers have seen a long and slow decline. With the democratization of media comes a lot of noise, but there are new players coming into content feeds that are carving distinct spaces for themselves and their communities.
The future of media is being built today by independent proprietors who are crafting superformat ecosystems that reflect their own distinct areas of expertise and points of view. And these ecosystems have plenty of room to grow.
A panel of media moguls will share how they’re turning the art and science of media into a unique act of worldbuilding; one that combines the power of community and curation to create new value for audiences. They’ll discuss what’s working, what’s not, and what’s next in the next era of media.
Speakers:
Ben Dietz, Founder, Rangelife and Publisher, [SIC] Weekly
Casey Lewis, Youth Trends Expert and Founder, After School
Daisy Alioto, Co-Founder, Dirt Media
Erica Chen, Head of Strategy, Media Futures Group
