Emerging Technology/New Media (NAMAS) and NATAS:
Peter Price was named President and CEO of The National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences in February, 2002. He has expanded the role of the National Television Academy as a professional service organization dedicated to the advancement of the arts and sciences of television and the promotion of creative leadership for artistic, educational and technical achievements within the television industry. Last year the Academy created a new Emmy Award for video content on new delivery platforms, including the Internet, mobile phones, iPods, PDAs and similar devices. Price also spearheaded the development of the Business & Financial Reporting Emmy Awards, and he expanded the Technology & Engineering Emmy Awards, one of the Academy’s oldest ceremonies honoring patent holders of television technology, to recognize the technical applications of patented technology via the New Media Technology Awards. I sat down with Peter to discuss his current job, and get his perspective on new media.  (Click to read the complete interview.)
