Dear Readers,

For almost eight (yes!) years—beginning as a humble blog and now as part of a big, multinational publishing company—we’ve chronicled the media and entertainment industries’ adoption of new ideas. And, now it’s our turn: As you may have noticed, we’re updating our design and functionality.

• A better 360-degree view of the sites’ content: It’s now much easier to see the latest and most-popular content both across ContentNext’s four sites and elsewhere on the web—without ever leaving whichever of our sites you happen to be on.
