Harvey Levin recently spoke at the 39th Annual UCLA Entertainment Symposium about the future of traditional media. The Hollywood Reporter quotes Levin as follows:
"I don’t think there’s going to be television in ten years, and maybe [not] in five years. [Convergence of media and of television devices – an Internet/television fusion that Levin calls Intervision] will make studios less relevant. Newspapers [and] magazines are going away."
He specifically points out on the advertisements on the evening news:
"It’s all about hospice care. It’s all pills and death. Have you seen Xbox advertised on network news?"
And on the audience of the evening news:
"It’s all 60-plus. You know where that ends, right?"
Do you agree with Harvey Levin's assessment?
