They’re all at it, again.
(WORLD) MediaSnackers are being served more and more ways to snack on their chosen media than ever. It’s hard to differentiate between companies and start-ups enabling snacking or the snacking trends driving media platform development, but here are a couple of quotes from the ‘experts’ to sum it all up for any ‘MediaSnacker-virgins’:
Digital technology offers countless new opportunities for communication and will wash away the foundations of the existing system of regulation. The signs of change are already manifest: shrinking audiences for traditional channels; the emergence of new platforms; converging technologies; the weakening of existing models for commercial funding. And the pace of change can only accelerate.
Michael Grade, BBC Chairman writing for the Guardian.
I believe that mobile could be one of the greatest media platforms ever created. It could rival television, the Internet and literally anything.
Peter Chernin, the president and chief operating officer of News Corp Inc. in a keynote speech at the CTIA Wireless Association conference.
No one is looking out, in a systematic way, for the cumulative impact of today’s newer electronic media on our children. The questions about the effects—positive or negative—of media on our children’s health, education and development are too important to go unasked and unanswered.
Senator Lieberman, supporting the passing of a bill which examine the effects of screen media on the cognitive development of children.
