Lecture: Future of Fandom



Are you a fan of anything? Sure you are, and regardless of your level of fandom, you’ve probably had experiences where you’d like to give a little back and affect (hopefully) positive change in the things you love. PBS Idea Channel thinks that’s a good thing, and fandom’s prevalence just might change the course of all media in the future. 
"What is THE FUTURE of Fandoms? Excited, interested, and devoted to a piece of the world, fandoms have an ever growing presence and power in our culture. But how will that power morph in the coming decades? Will fans be able to control the media they celebrate? Will fan-created works and the argument of Fair Use alter copyright law? Will fandoms find a place in politics and government? Watch the episode, and let us know what you think!"
