New Media refers to media produced for distribution over the internet. Streaming shows and movies whose original distribution was over the internet would be considered New Media. There is New Media language in the IATSE live-action agreements as well as the Guild’s agreement. The language is changed slightly to address some differences between live-action and animated content. New Media and SVOD (Subscription based Video On Demand) is the language used in our contract, but some prefer it to be called Streaming Media.
Remember to Call the Hall!
