  • Michael Nutley (editor-in-chief) New Media Age

Content will include

  • The opportunities for content distribution (how to get your material to a wider or more targeted audience)

  • The financial picture - who's making money from this market and how can you do that too?
    Rights & Licensing - what boxes need ticking to deliver content?

  • Technical requirements - delivery specifications (both now and in the future), language requirements and common revenue models.
