We may be headed for a “golden age” of web video as Peter Chernin says, but he wasn’t the only one talking about the growing impact of video on the Web on the way we consume media. Not to be too meta about it, but here’s web video about web video: A highlight reel of six speakers at last month’s Code/Media conference including Chernin, Chris Cox of Facebook (pictured above), and Mark Cuban among others talking about the fast-moving world of online video distribution. All that and host Peter Kafka apologizes for saying “monetizing” out loud.

Will you support Vox’s explanatory journalism?
Most news outlets make their money through advertising or subscriptions. But when it comes to what we’re trying to do at Vox, there are a couple reasons that we can't rely only on ads and subscriptions to keep the lights on.
First, advertising dollars go up and down with the economy. We often only know a few months out what our advertising revenue will be, which makes it hard to plan ahead.
Second, we’re not in the subscriptions business. Vox is here to help everyone understand the complex issues shaping the world — not just the people who can afford to pay for a subscription. We believe that’s an important part of building a more equal society. We can’t do that if we have a paywall.
That’s why we also turn to you, our readers, to help us keep Vox free. If you also believe that everyone deserves access to trusted high-quality information, will you make a gift to Vox today?
