Hi Brook! I think we do ourselves a huge disservice by not comparing and contrasting to MSM. In five to ten years, maybe less, all media will be consumed on demand and from a single portal. A viewer will not know the difference between MSM and independent creators. If, as independent creators who are passionate about creating media without a gatekeeper that speaks to our own particular voices, we are not careful to establish ourselves as separate from MSM and with our own unique attributes we may soon find ourselves launching our media into a viewerless void.
