Taking hi-tech road with NYC-based Contentinople

After publishing several news features since the holidays, I officially signed on today as a freelance reporter with TechWeb's NYC-based Contentinople, a fairly new B2B publishing group focusing on online content technology.

Their tagline? Networking the digital media industry.

The gig is a nice marriage coupling my years as a freelance journalist/editor with my experience as a Web producer starting with the online division ABC Radio in the '90s to my current work in Boston.

My piece today called "TV in 3D Craze Hits the Super Bowl" follows what NBC is calling a "monsterous" event airing at the end of the second-quarter break during the Super Bowl this Sunday, including a 90-second 3D movie trailer for "Monsters vs. Aliens" and a commercial for SoBe Lifewater. On Monday, Feb. 2, the 3D glasses can be reused for the post-Super Bowl episode of "Chuck" on NBC.

Last Friday, I chatted with Paramount Pictures' executive VP of operations about the studio's push for theaters nationwide--including indie cinemas--to make the transition to digital.

So far, it's been a fun ride. I'm genuinely looking forward to reporting on the topsy-turvy digital media landscape as it evolves and continues to transform the music and film industry.
