"Everyone has an opinion about whether media outlets can make real money and still hold onto their journalistic integrity,” says Mathew Ingram, senior writer for paidContent. “We’ll look at some emerging models and debate which ones have the most promise."
San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) February 25, 2013
GigaOM, the leading global source of analysis on emerging technologies, has announced that Brain Pickings founder Maria Popova will be a headline speaker its annual paidContent Live conference, being held April 17 in New York City. Popova will take the stage with Andrew Ross Sorkin of The New York Times and Andrew Sullivan of The Dish to examine alternative monetization models and the future of self-published content.
Popova's use of affiliate links on her Brain Pickings blog has been a source of much debate over the past two weeks. The conversation that has emerged is a microcosm of longer-running discussions around the impact of new monetization models, including affiliate links and sponsored content.
“Everyone has an opinion about whether media outlets can make real money and still hold onto their journalistic integrity,” says Mathew Ingram, senior writer for paidContent and chair of paidContent Live. “We’ll look at some emerging models and debate which ones have the most promise.”
