MyersBizNet, publisher of
The Myers Report and MediaVillage.com, this morning announced it is converting MediaVillage to a nonprofit (501[C][3]) foundation and will focus the digital
publishing platform on being a free resource for content aimed at the "next-generation" of talent for the ad-supported media industry.
"We've always been purpose-led," Founder Jack Myers stated in
an announcement published in one of MediaVillage's newsletters this morning, adding: "Since our inception as The Myers Report in the 1980s, we've invested in professional development
resources to prepare our industry for technological and generational change. As a non-profit, our investment in the next generation of leaders is more clearly defined."
Last month, Media
Village announced the launch of a new self-publishing platform aimed at giving a voice to "new thought leaders" in the ad industry.
The site already boasts hosting more than 80 educational
sites hosted by media companies, agencies, and trade associations.
