About This Webcast

Live from the ScribeMedia studio in downtown NYC, Dorian Benkoil of Teeming Media sits down for a live video Webcast interview with Marketwatch founder and Polaris Ventures senior advisor Larry Kramer.

Topic

Is there any media topic Larry Kramer isn’t qualified to discuss? It’s hard to find many people with both his range — who’ve risen from the reportorial trenches to the heights of entrepreneurship, academe and venture capitalism — who are as approachable and plainspoken. We’ll talk with Larry about what he’s up to at Polaris, a company with $3 billion under management, where he sees financial media headed, how big broadcast networks can survive, what media entrepreneurs must do to compete, what he’s up to personally, and other topics you tell us you’d like to hear. Larry combines a media mogul’s business acumen with wit and a journalist’s candor. We think you’ll enjoy the show.

Please send us your questions now and tune in April 14 at Noon ET.

About Naked Media

Through interviews with cutting edge leaders and thinkers from the media industry, Naked Media explores the nexus of content, advertising and technology — all with an eye toward measurable goals in the digital age. Naked Media peels back the covers to show in stark reality how it’s done, what media managers are doing even as the landscape shifts beneath their feet. The show may attract some media stars but will not be about their stardom. Rather it’s the goals they are trying to achieve and how they get there. The show’s guests are as likely to be dynamic speakers from small- and medium-sized media influencers as from the behemoths.

Hosted by award-winning journalist and media veteran Dorian Benkoil of Teeming Media, and enhanced through viewer participation, Naked Media cuts through the bloviation, challenges the conventional wisdom and gets at real issues that provide “aha” moments for the executives who are watching and participating. It explores everything from making money from the latest ad technologies to privacy issues in media to the buzz around social media and media deals. It includes a mix of live in-studio interviews, on-site events and on-demand offerings, as well as audience questions and discussion areas.
