I've never really thought about it, but that's exactly the difference between old and new media. And by the way I have a real problem even saying "new media" these days. I think that's an old media way of describing things they don't fully understand. Phil I think that’s bang on Philip.

I'd say somewhat more like old media than new as there are still heavy layers of approvals from stations required for a project to get up, which breaks the direct producer/viewer relationship.

I like to say that New Media represents the end of industrialized entertainment. From the invention of motion pictures until now, the core values of entertainment (known for good reason as the "entertainment industry") revolved around the machinations of large scale enterprises. Those enterprises express their own values first and present material from an industrial point of view. Audience choice was restricted to what the industry chose to present. Now that audiences can choose anything they want, they make different choices, often for different reasons. I think that’s a useful distinction.
