Unexpected Media

InSync: The Revolution Will Not Be Televised: it will be YouTubed

The next InSync event will be on Thursday March 15th.

The technological changes happening within television (from YouTube to 18DoughtyStreet, Current TV to Joost) together with the increasing democratization of the medium are obvious. Likewise, the inherent conflicts are equally clear; balancing being commercially viable, technologically up-to-date, creative, and maintaining audience interest and participation.

Less clear is what to do about it all, as the possibilities are exponential and unpredictable.

Bringing together some of the people who have looked these challenges in the eye, we will discuss how the latest technologies are already being harnessed (socially, politically and technically), how commercial, creative and operational demands have been met and what possibilities we might expect in the future.

The discussion will be chaired by Kathryn Corrick, new media consultant
