Hello and Welcome to Medi8tor,
An entertainment blog dedicated to examining, understanding, and taming the beast of fame, through the process of “Fame Management” with the goal of balancing fame and personhood evenly. Today we are taking yet another hiatus from this topic to discuss entertainment industry resources that will be helpful for Medi8tor, but also for you as you pursue your various dreams and endeavors.
A great asset or resource to have in any industry is an association. Associations in any industry can keep you informed and abreast of the major and minor occurrences in your particular industry. An association that affects this blog site and any online platform is the New Media Professional Association (NMPA). The NMPA consists of web and communication professionals who are interested in staying current with the latest news, research trends, statistics, and strategies in the world of New Media.
The New Media Professional Association is linked to the New Media Institute which is an organization dedicated to researching and fact finding about new media, and to help the general public improve their knowledge and understanding about Internet and new media communications. Both sites contain news stories regarding new media, articles on defining new media, as well as an extensive history on the Internet from its inception to the present. An additional amazing resource housed within this association is a digital library dedicated to Internet law that identifies governmental proceedings regarding rules, regulations, and rights for consumers and business professionals utilizing web based new media content.
This association and the resources that their site provides are invaluable to the industry of web content and new media because this concept is still very young, and is often attributed to the “Wild West” as a business frontier. Although this new wave of conducting business, sharing information, ideas, and entertainment is in its infancy stage there is still a need for certain rules and parameters to be set in order to make new media safe and free from criminal activity. New media content is quickly becoming a primary source of information for people, as well as a primary means of self-expression; but is often tainted through piracy. The NMPA and NWI exist to help steer and guide this supernova trend of new media, which has quickly become the wave of the future, in order to make sure that all creators, users, and consumers can use this incredible tool with peace of mind.
Medi8tor will definitely utilize the NMPA in order to stay informed about new media laws and rights to avoid piracy of our ideas, and relay information to so that you can avoid piracy as well. Lastly, please feel free to recommend any associations that are relevant to your business and your industry.
See you next time.
