What Los Angeles means to news media

Home to Hollywood, gaming, the creator economy, and the capital of music, Los Angeles has much to teach the news media industry. The consumer technology scene is thriving as VCs and entrepreneurs move south of Silicon Valley. And as media, distribution, and funding has democratised, the creator economy has been born. Individuals are more popular, and often more profitable, than brands on social media.

Over the course of five days, INMA will delve into best practices in audio and video content, new technologies, and different commerce models that are driving this creator economy to see what valuable lessons can be applied to the news industry.
