Digital media cultures!

So at the moment i'm not sure if its going to be one of my favorite modules, but its one of them, where its essential for learning about the media industry. How its developing, what going on etc.
 The first assingment sounds pretty daunting when you think about how much research will be needed, but i think it will good good to get to grips with whats out there, and how its effecting us as its audience. So we have to get into groups of three and make a presentation using prezi or something of the sort to answer one of the three questions, which are:

Digital Fiction Factory

The Internet, social media and other open systems have allowed for user generated content (UGC), crowd-sourcing and other forms of audience participation to prevail in digital media. But how do we translate these

features into storytelling experiences, without treading on the toes of the author?

ONTECA

What new models are there for selling media? When people download so much media freely, what are people willing to pay for and how? What are and what can we learn from the best monetization mechanics for Freemium games on mobile?

at the moment i'm not sure of the third, and the talk from Nine Lives Media will be next week, so i will update!

**UPDATE

Nine Lives Media

Which are the three most successful ever examples of cross platform television programming, how did viewers participate and most importantly, what did they gain from the experience?

From all the talks I found the last talk more engaging because i feel, like as a viewer, and having being currently involved in what the questions asking the research will be more interesting and relevant to my interests. Although I liked the content brought about in the very first talk, within storytelling in the media. I found that really interesting.
