Media Mapping
So what's the quickest way to come to understand an industry? You've got to create a map of its media.
I want to learn more about the video game industry and so I'm going to start working on a video game industry media map.
What will this media map help me do?
Well, as a micromedia mogul in the making this will help me to see the opportunities for media providers (me) in the video game industry.
Think of the map as a directory. It will be in blog form because that's my current and admittedly weak publishing tool.
But the media itself, I think, will help me to understand more clearly the relationship between videogame manufacturer and videogamer.
My primary interest here though is in creating a media source for the independent game developer. Because this is something I'm completely fascinated with.
