Search The Punch keywords http://www.thepunch.com.au/search/ http://www.thepunch.com.au/articles/the-next-stage-for-innovation-add-culture-and-stir/ There are young Australians who are already making a name (and money) for themselves in the latest market for creative content – and it didn’t exist a moment ago. YouTube is a huge repository of amateur content, but it is also rapidly evolving into a site that has legally contracted Hollywood movies and TV shows but is working out ways to share revenues from advertising with gifted and committed amateurs whose creativity attracts a big following. Can government play a role in assisting Australian creative talent to catch some of dynamism of emerging markets for culture? Peter Garrett’s call to develop a National Cultural Policy could be an important opportunity to take innovation to the next stage in this country. The deadline for formal submissions closed yesterday. Most submissions want more recognition, and funding, for the arts.
