Why New Media Matters To You
INTERVIEW ON THE PRICE OF BUSINESS SHOW, MEDIA PARTNER OF THIS SITE.
Recently Kevin Price, Host of the nationally syndicated Price of Business Show, interviewed Susan Johnston, who is the Director of the New Media Film Festival. Kevin Price calls her one of the leading authorities on New Media.
In this far reaching interview, Price and Johnson discussed how powerful new media is and how pervasive it is in virtually every aspect of our lives.
“Whatever business you are in, new media allows you to broaden your reach,” Johnston said. It is more affordable and easier than ever.
Remember “Add ons” in sales? Well now it is an add on to your brand via New Media, Johnson noted during their chat. Unlike most “add ons” that come with a cost, these just require a little time and effort.
A simple example could be a professional photographer. Let’s say he interviewed the speakers at an event he was the official photographer and turned that into a book. He can sell the book, give the book with an email sign up to a newsletter, add a credit to the resume. Income potential and branding in a few simple moves.
She noted there are many other creative and clever things one can do in leveraging new media in many different industries.
For example, farmers in Russia are using VR headsets on cows for better milk production and quality. Making them happier, healthier, and better producers.

According to USA Business Radio, “New Media Film Festival provides an unparalleled opportunity for established and emerging creators of content to showcase their talents and present their stories to the world.
“Some of the festival firsts are, first to celebrate ‘innovation, story, mediums and platforms’, to screen AI created film, show collaborative virtual reality content, host an AR International Art Exhibit, and distribute micro content. The Festival also believes in giving back and over the years has supported a wide range of non-profit ventures.
“Judges from Marvel, HBO, Emmys, FOX program ‘stories’ submitted in 25 categories produced by technologically innovative storytellers from around the globe. Some of the creators will be old hands at the game, and many won’t be, but ultimately it matters not at the New Media Film Festival®! Emerging media technologies are, after all, new for everyone.
“The Festival has launched many successful media and film careers for participants. Renowned film director Roger Corman, in congratulating the organizers, said ‘I thank Susan and the New Media organization (film festival) for what they’ve done for young filmmakers.”
