Josh Koppel on Form, Function, and Silly Putty: Making Media Flexible

Harvard University

Josh Koppel is a content creator. Ever since his high school days at the helm of his Chicago-based satirical publication ‘Citizen Poke’ in the early 1990s, he has argued that every piece of great media begins with a great story. While he began on paper with everything from prank prom invitations to his critically acclaimed (2000) book, ‘Good Grief,’ Koppel’s creative energy in more recent years has motivated him to explore new vehicles and audiences, such as broadband and cellular technology, for his unique blend of humor and narrative. Content creation in the 21st century presents many opportunities and challenges. Josh will spend his hour touching on transformation of the content production process; what is working and what isn’t; and what we have to look forward to in the future.
