New media takes the lead.
The present and future of influence belongs to new media. Blogs, videos, podcasts and social media platforms have become the voice of a new generation.
Yesterday’s television and radio are fading, being replaced by new media personalities worldwide, especially in Europe, where new stars are rising all the time. We bring you just a few of Europe’s emerging new media talents:
