Sharon Strover (University of Texas at Austin); participants: Alisa Perren (Georgia State University), Max Dawson (Northwestern University), Michele White (Tulane University), Melissa Click (University of Missouri), Kristina Busse (University of South Alabama), moderator: Jennie Phillips (University of Texas at Austin)

Question: What do the new screens (small screens on cell phones and PDAs, iPods and computer screens) and new modes of consumption - personal mobility but also Tivo - mean for the types of programming content that people prefer and that gets produced? If we are entering an era of video abundance, how do industry structures change and what do individuals expect ?from programming? How do technologies de-center and re-center the screen/viewing experience?
