Friday Round Up: Read This Now
For this week’s Friday Round-up (yes, I know it’s been a while) I have one article that I scooped from my friend Susan Carr’s Twitter feed earlier today.

The Truth About the Future of The Media Industry
I came across this article yesterday comparing the market value of “new media” companies like Google, Facebook etc. to the “Old Media” empires of Disney, Comcast and News Corp.

Scripps media, owners of the Rocky Mountain News, have put the Rocky up for sale and the Tribune Co, owners of the LA Times, Chicago Tribune and Baltimore Sun has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection. Today’s announcement that Newsweek is [...]
Interactive Video Manipulation
The good folks at Adobe are busy cooking up some experimental new video software for manipulating, compositing and interacting with digital video. Photographers might want to think of the new software as one part Vanishing Point, one part photo merge and two parts magic. The compositing feature shown at the end of the movie raises [...]
