For every complex problem, there is a solution that is simple, neat, and wrong.
Heritage media is as vacuous and useless a term as new media.
So very true!
Perhaps we should call it “Legacy Media” then ?
I don’t know if that helps, to be honest. Legacy media businesses, sure. But media forms rarely disappear, and defining them by their age doesn’t really tell us anything.
I prefer ‘old media’. It makes ‘new media’ sound so much more awesome.
