Data
collected on social media, streaming services, mobile devices, email, and
web-based communications affects decisions on how projects are green-lit,
created, produced, distributed, and marketed. The ways individuals consume
content are evolving and leading to data-rich models that claim to predict what
consumers will watch, and how they will watch it. Everything in a digital
environment is trackable. The question is: How are media professionals using this
information?
