    About the session

    Newspapers – Who Cares?

    A new ecology of news and knowledge creation.

    SPEAKER: Michael Tippett (CA), co-founder & Chief Marketing Officer, NowPublic
    MODERATOR: Nikolaj Nyholm (DK), CEO, Polar Rose

    The prosumer revolution is rapidly changing the rules of media, communications and entertainment industries. Old business models must adapt to a new ecology of fragmented content production and consumption habits. Once upon a time print media benefited from being the only mobile alternative; today a multitude of hi-tech devices leave consumers with little or no time for traditional outlets. But we have only just seen the beginning of this profound shift. Join this session for an informed opinion of what new business opportunities and risks will emerge from the dawn of ‘we media’.
