Talked with TVMAS about the future of televisions in the midst of technological advancement, traditional media and challenges for adaptation.<\/p>\n What do you envision for the future of content in the process of evolution of media and ICTs?<\/b><\/em><\/p>\n I think that, indeed, the future is in TIC. A growing population has access to them and that represents an audience of almost limitless proportions. It is also, a great opportunity to handle contents, depending on the platform you are using.<\/p>\n What is the main challenge for a writer in the current market reality?<\/b><\/em><\/p>\n The main challenge is to adapt to the different languages \u200b\u200b. The TV contents can be more explicit and extensive. For other computer\u00a0formats as mobile or computers\u00a0you must\u00a0write more agile. Being able to say a lot in a short time, as the audience has more and more options and you have to be forceful in the\u00a0messages.<\/p>\n Are traditional media fast enough to adapt to new audiences consumption habits?<\/b><\/em><\/p>\n I think that in Latin America, although it is been\u00a0worked on, we are still far from achieving it.<\/p>\n What are the challenges in adaptations and how can a writer stand out against the contents supply\u00a0growth?<\/b><\/em><\/p>\n The challenge is to accommodate a foreign product to regional idiosyncrasies looking for meeting points. Stories, universes and characters with whom the audience can identify with. More than adaptations, we should talk about versions. We must keep alert to new trends increasing your audiovisual culture. However, in this scenario, you should always remember that “a good story will always overcome technical or culture \u00a0hurdles,” she said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Cecilia Percy is an experienced writer of other formats such as reality shows, documentaries and telenovelas.
