It was with great pleasure that on Friday, I saw that it was announced that the IFP (of which I am on the board of) was awarded the RFP for a new digital media center in New York City. I, and many others, had been struggling with the lack of interaction between the two fields. The Mayor’s Office stepped into do something about it. This is a truly great initiative and should be a model for cities throughout the country (Hey San Francisco: hint, hint).
This is the official press release:
Media Center Will Promote Collaboration between Entertainment, Advertising and New Media Industries and Offer Educational Programs to Support the Next Generation of Innovators
