[Bp_localcontent] Call, Tuesday 12th August

[Deen, Glenn (NBCUniversal)]

I agree with Martha, and would like to add that we must also include creation as a goal. Perhaps the biggest change brought on by the Internet is that it enables everyone to be a creator of content.

Best practices for digital local content should include both content access and content creation.

Glenn Deen
