Every year in January, the TV program executives get together at the Fontainebleau Resort in Miami Beach in order to attend the annual NATPE (National Association of Television Program Executives) Market & Conference: http://www.natpe.org/natpe/
A number of panels, workshops, case studies and master classes throughout the three-day confab focus on the latest developments in the digital content industry.
During the „Developing the Next Digital Hit" session, panelists acknowledged yesterday that the returns for web-only series are often still tiny compared with TV shows, and the need to cut costs is the main concern for content creators.
At least the NATPE trade show is recognizing - for the second year - digital contributions to the content biz by honoring on the last day of the market (January, 26) a handful of companies and personalities as "Content Innovators". The event will be streamed live on the NATPE website. Will you tune in tomorrow?
