| Creating Your Own Media Empire with Podcasts & Video-Blogs |
| Pre-Conference Seminars (W2) 9:00 AM - 12:00 PM |
Internet-based streaming media has been too difficult to use to truly
challenge radio and TV. However, several recent technical developments
have paved the way for audio and video downloads to be accessed by tens
of millions of new mainstream consumers. Much of the skill and
experience in producing and encoding content for the web also applies
to podcasting and video-blogging, but this seminar covers the key
differences and new skills required, including content format, target
platforms, syndication methods, cross-platform issues, software,
licensing, and advertising.
