DEMOS Research report Video Republic

Cheap digital technology and broadband access have broken the monopoly held by production companies and broadcasters over moving-images. Videos made by young people spread quickly across the internet, television and festivals. This new place where videos are being created, published and exchanged is dominated by young people and
called the ´Video Republic´. The European Cultural Foundation commissioned UK based think-tank Demos to expore the contours of this new public space. The resulting report outlines the inhabitants, shapes and regulations of the 'Video Republic'. The report gives teachers, cultural operators, the media industry, parents and journalists a fresh take and a better appreciation of what makes young European videomakers tick.
