Business Insider: Old Media Still Doesn't Get Web Video, Says Blip.TV Founder Kaplan

Heather Leonard of The Business Insider sat down with Dina Kaplan, Co-Founder of blip.tv, to talk about why old media doesn't get web video and "isn't making inroads into even high-quality user-generated video content."

According Dina, "the issue is twofold: Old media thrived in an economy of scarcity. Video is no longer scarce (as evidenced by this interview). Old media wants viewers to come to their network. New media users want their content to be everywhere; the more dissemination, the better."
