DISQUS

Dennis Haarsager posted a particularly useful "Content Flow" diagram last week at his indispensible blog Technology360.com. Referring to It will help to focus this discussion.

The diagram: http://technology360.typepad.com/photos/uncateg...

What this shows in schematic form is the growth of new bi-directional online distribution pathways from "producer" to "listener or viewer," and the rise of a new class of "aggregators" or "bundlers" where programming is or will be available.

The new business model(s) are implicit in this diagram. The next step is to annotate each box and show how each activity on the path to the listener/viewer is being or will be supported.

Of course this diagram refers only the to the public media infrastructure. To get the full picture, the entire diagram must itself be placed in the larger context of all online, audio and video media and delivery options for the public.
