Synopsis

Overcoming the Challenges in the Digital Media Age pour Ouvrages de référence publié sous la référence HL00160411 par Hal Leonard. Human beings are natural storytellers, and its never been easier to access digital technologies that allow anyone, anywhere to share their story with the world. More stories are being produced and consumed now than at any other time in our specieshistory - yet, for some reason, its never been more difficult to cut it as a creative. Consumers are paying less (if anything) for all forms of entertainment, traditional media companies are tanking, and the advertising realm has been turned on itshead. Although operating budgets have increased in every sector, storytellers are making less than ever before, as the lions share of new revenues cyclically feed mechanisms for distribution and monetization. Our media landscape is, in short,unsustainable and in the midst of a crisis. What went wrong? How can we fix it? Although he presides over Avid, the leading provider of audio and video technology for creatives and media professionals, Louis Hernandez Jr. isnt your typicalmultinational CEO. In his two previous books, Too Small to Fail: How the Financial Industry Crisis Changed the Worlds Perceptions and Saving the American Dream: Main Streets Last Stand, he chartered his vision of an egalitarian America structuredaround the communities that compose its very foundation. He brings the same mindset - the same notion of countless small actors with unlimited potential - to the tumultuous world of media with his third book, The Storytellers Dilemma: Overcoming theChallenges in the Digital Media Age. In The Storytellers Dilemma, Hernandez puts forth another comprehensive vision for our future that aims to advantage all while disadvantaging none. This book is neither a diatribe against economic elites nor apostmortem analysis of the ills of digital distribution. Instead, it proposes a new approach with the potential to benefit all involved parties - [..]

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur :

There is undeniable joy in storytelling the urge to share experiences. Today, thanks to digital technology, the tools exist to share that joy more easily than ever before. The result has been an explosion of creativity, with more content being produced and consumed than at any time in human history. And yet, because of a shift in investment from content creation to monetization, it s harder than ever to make a living as a content creator. The situation is unsustainable, and it s getting worse. The Storyteller s Dilemma is about how we share experiences in a connected digital age. Featuring sidebars from contributors such as Jesse Willson, Alan Bell, Darren Long, Paul Stevenson, and more, it s a tale of a changing world, the impact of technology, and the unintended consequences of the media landscape s evolution. More important, it s a close look at the challenges created by the collision of new technology and outdated business models why the system doesn t work as it should and what can be done about it. This is a vision for the future one in which the complexity and imbalance of the media industry as it is has been wiped away by new processes, new resources, and new tools that simplify and streamline how content is created, distributed, and monetized, so that all may benefit. That s the key to shifting the focus back where it should be: to the pure joy of storytelling.
