The New New Media: Possibilities of Communication and Compensation in the Next Generation of the Web
summary
Panel reports that NFT-funded films and single-photo photo NFTs already move real money to creators, cites Matteo Santoro’s self‑produced trailer and a Reuters experiment minting a photo to learn the limits. Identifies blockchain provenance and Polkadot/Web3 projects as tools for tying metadata to files, but flags OpenSea copyright theft, deepfakes, and the crypto market crash. Notes Coindesk’s desk token trial, subscriber growth at legacy outlets, and that verification tech still needs custodians and standards.
