| | rantnrave:// There are few concepts more fundamental to the video media business than that of content "windowing" – yet even this strategy is crumbling under the pressures of digital distribution. How will rights owners maximize the value of their content in the post-window era? The answer depends on how badly you want it. "Letting it Go: The End of Windowing (and What Comes Next)"... Big hair, skinny ties, and the San Diego Chicken--the '80s were a totally radical time for television. So grab a Seagrams, hide your cat and take a trip back in time with these awesome blasts from the past in REDEF MediaSET, "Where Everybody Knows Your Name: Oral Histories of '80s TV Shows"... Fast fashion—the paradigm of swift, trend-driven production—has been heralded as fashion's great equalizer, criticized for labor and environmental practices, and lauded for supply chain innovations. It's also viewed as a defining cultural movement in fashion's digital era. Read for some intense debate in REDEF FashionSET, "Speed Racer: Fast Fashion"... Is THEO EPSTEIN to hurting MLB teams what JAMES DALTON was to Road Houses?... Not choosing wisely is not as bad as not correcting an unwise choice... I want this playing every time I walk into a room... Nonsense and speculation about emails somehow cloak reality to many. Why was no one outraged with this clip from TRUMP? And with PIERCE MORGAN laughing. Our shame and our fault folks. I don't want mean leadership... Maybe I don't need self-control... Happy Birthday to MAYO STUNTZ, DAVID WERTHEIMER, LISA SILFEN-LAMSTEIN, and GLENN GINSBURG. | | | - Jason Hirschhorn, curator |
