To understand the current landscape, we must look at the tectonic shift of the last two decades. At the turn of the millennium, "popular media" was a one-way street. Studios in Hollywood and production houses in London decided what was popular, and audiences consumed it passively via appointment viewing (Thursday nights on NBC) or theatrical releases. The gatekeepers were few; the barriers to entry were high.
We no longer just watch a movie; we inhabit a franchise. The most successful examples of popular media today utilize transmedia storytelling. A story might begin in a comic book, expand through a streaming series, offer interactive lore via a video game, and maintain daily engagement through social media snippets.
One of the most significant shifts in popular media is the fragmentation of the audience. In the "Golden Age of Television," a show like M A S H* could capture over 60% of the viewing audience. Today, a hit show is considered a success if it captures a fraction of a percent of the global population.
