Stop looking at the TV business in silos' Industry thought leader Evan Shapiro delivered a challenging keynote on Monday and he also revealed insights based on an exclusive research partnership with MIPTV. Shapiro, professor of television at New York University, urged delegates to stop looking at the TV business in silos and start thinking like consumers . His stark warning was that media companies need to shift their mindset radically to survive: There's a major shift coming in the next 36 months and companies that don't react will fail.
He said that audiences do not consume content with a binary mindset: Content owners need to stop thinking about the gatekeeper and creator economies as separate, because they co-exist. Streaming and linear, social and TV, pay and free are all colliding in the minds of consumers on a day to day basis.
Shapiro also said that generating value in the new media landscape is about more than reach - it's about the engagement, passion and love driven by communities.
