26. So what does it all mean?
• A new visual landscape
• Discoverability = metadata
• Flexibility = multiplatform, divisions b/w text, image, film dissolve
• Mobile
• Personalisation (or imposition?)
• More power to the author
• Direct relationship with the consumer
• Partnerships: with developers, new sources of content
• Amazon, Apple, Facebook, Google – more powerful than any publisher?
