The answers my friends- are blowin’in the wind….

Jenkins made a point about the conglomerate media companies that I thought was very interesting, he said “Many of the big media giants look like big dysfunctional families whose members aren’t speaking with each other and pursue their own short term agendas- even at the expense of other divisions of the same companies.”  I wonder what Badgikian would say about this- seems this point of view is right up his alley and would lend more fuel to the anti-monopolistic fie he has been stoking… At the same time though this quote kind of takes away from the whole “convergence of media companies creates uniform content” idea because the infighting Jenkins mentions might spur some of that individualism and foster creativity that can be backed up by the budget of a large company… Food for thought I guess…
