Abstract: This report by Nordicity, commissioned by the Ontario Media Development Corporation (OMDC) focuses on outlining how market-ready content gets from the content owner to the end-user, with a specific focus on providing models that visualize current and emerging patterns of distribution that occur across all six cultural media industry sectors. In addition to developing these models, the report also examines some of the key challenges and opportunities for Ontario content creators as they navigate through these models. In addition to highlighting the challenges facing content owners and creators, the report also looks at selected examples of public interventions that have been put into action elsewhere, including, for example, initiatives by the Welsh Books Council, New Zealand Film Commission, and Creative Skillset.
