Trends for Creators
When Kevin and I were discussing the gap between what millions regularly consume and what is officially considered mainstream media, he said that “we’re still in this weird transition between new and old media.” That transition means that traditional media outlets are focused on keeping their spot “on top” and often accomplish this by refusing to recognize alternative media except in moments that cast it in a less than flattering light.
The Point
Kevin and I discussed a lot during our interview, but he ended with a point that’s worth keeping in mind: “we’re so ‘early days’ in all of this.” As well informed as these predictions are and as sure as we both may feel about them, media is always in flux and the people creating content are constantly adapting.
