As people not only put more content online, but conduct more of their daily lives in networked spaces and via social networking sites, how are social media influencing how we think of audiences? What are the implications for privacy, content management, and identity construction of social media? How have they impacted notions of civic engagement? 6641 tag:techtv.mit.edu,:Array/185030000 2008-12-31 15:20:31 -0500 Convergence Culture Consortium Henry Jenkins in conversation with Yochai Benkler - Harvard Law School, author, "The Wealth of Networks: How Social Production Transforms Markets and Freedom." 3886 tag:techtv.mit.edu,:Array/184988760 2008-12-31 15:37:05 -0500 Convergence Culture Consortium Professor Henry Jenkins, MIT 3060 tag:techtv.mit.edu,:Array/184931920 2008-12-31 15:39:01 -0500 Convergence Culture Consortium Jason Schupbach, Creative Economy Industry Director, Massachusetts Office of Business Development 155 tag:techtv.mit.edu,:Array/184866780 2009-01-15 10:06:20 -0500 Convergence Culture Consortium The Internet has altered transnational media flows, making it easier to move content across national and geographic boundaries, but complicating the economic structures that support these flows. How do we manage global distribution in the current context? What is the impact of the Internet on the interaction between local audiences and globalised content? What is the role of international audiences as taste-makers, and what can that tell us about making content relevant to multiple local audiences? How do we balance international distribution windows with audiences who move content themselves? 6343 tag:techtv.mit.edu,:Array/184808960 2009-04-02 17:25:26 -0400 MIT WebPub Presents...

However, new media (e.g. Blogs, Social Media, Social Networking sites) are challenging the established revenue channels provided by traditional media and impacting how fans follow their favorite teams. What does the future hold for media outlets and sports organizations? In this panel, we explore recent avenues of growth (e.g. NBA-TNT partnership), local sports networks and other media growth on the horizon. Recorded 3/7/2009 3501
