About this Video
This video is from the The Economics of Social Media conference, which explores the business of social media. In an industry moving so fast, it’s useful, fun, and necessary to allow yourself a day away from the everyday to think, learn, and network alongside your fellow industry leaders.
ContentNext is an independent media and information company covering the business of digital media.
Social Media Meets Music covers how existing record companies are scrambling to keep up with changes—and how adventurous startups are accelerating those changes.
The music industry doesn’t look anything like it did even three years ago. Social networking services promise to build communities into all but the stodgiest standalone devices. Is this the future? Will contextual advertising play a role? Now that EMI has opened the floodgates, what does the post-DRM world look like? What’s next?
Our panelists include Josh Deutsch, CEO of Downtown Recordings; Courtney Holt, executive vice president at MTV Networks; Hadi Partovi, president and COO of iLike; and Tim Westergren, founder of Pandora. Our moderator is Lisa Napoli of American Public Media.
