| Generating revenue is a lock but who holds the key? |
|
 By Chris Davison, davison@intellcap.com
Picture if you will a dimension not only of sight and sound but of mind, a place where content meets revenue through a door which may be locked by writers and unlocked with the key of consumer imagination. There's a signpost up ahead, your next stop: the Beverly Wilshire.
The 2007 State of the Industry luncheon opened with former HRTS President Jordan Levin showing the legendary Apple “1984” ad and commenting that the stone being used by Apple’s metaphorical David to fell the Microsoft Goliath may in fact be the iPod....

 (Editor’s note: The following question is an extension of last month’s interview with Academy of Television Arts and Science (ATAS) President Dick Askin. Interviewer Chris Davison arranged with Askin to save it until after the 2007 Emmy nominations were announced on Friday, July 20, 2007.)

 By Dave Ferrara, HRTS Executive Director
Ahhh...Mid-summer. That quiet time when the sun is warm, traffic has lessened, and the TV and media business takes its annual summertime siesta. At least that’s the way I remember it!

And normally, at this time of year my Society Views column focuses on these same issues. ...
