Digital Distribution and Entertainment Media
Wednesday 18 January 2017
13.30-18.00hrs followed by wine reception 18.00-19.00hrs
Room S-3.20, Strand Building, King’s College London, Strand Campus, Strand, London WC2R 2LS
Music streaming, video-on-demand and downloadable games are just some of the signs of how digital distribution is transforming the landscape of entertainment media. Digital delivery dematerializes while rematerializing the means of disseminating entertainment. For media industries, the potential of digital distribution to disrupt traditional structures has been accompanied by the emergence of new power players as cultural gatekeepers. Reflecting on these developments, this half-day symposium conducts a comparative analysis of how digital distribution is now impacting the music, television and game industries.
