I’ll be heading to Los Angeles for the NATPE LA TV Fest July 8 and 9 to help host the event and you should come too — especially because I’ve got a great discount for you! This year’s event should offer great access to agents, producers, studios and thought leaders in TV and new media. I helped plan many of the sessions and I’m thrilled that Web luminaries like Alex Albrecht and Zadi Diaz, executives like NBC’s Cameron Death and YouTube’s Jordan Hoffner and talent agents like ICM’s George Ruiz will be on hand. When you register please use the promo code “LATVF9″ for $100 off. You’ll get the rate of $395!

I’m pleased to announce I’ll be hosting a free webinar with online video technology firm Brightcove on how putting video on your site can make your company more successful. We’ll share best practices and benefits in just 30 minutes so come sign up for the session here!

Hey Web video creators! NATPE has extended the deadline for submitting web series in its Next TV Competition from Friday, May 15 to midnight on Thursday, May 28.

So what are you waiting for, oh creative geniuses of the online world? Here’s the link to enter. Through the Next TV Competition, NATPE is searching for the best pilot for a new web series or the best new episode from existing web series. And, because of my relationship with NATPE — my producing partner for the New Media Minute — anyone entering the competition will receive a 50% discount on my Fair Use EBook, which contains all the information you need to keep you and your content out of court. If you’re entering the competition, you should email me at daisywhitney@gmail.com and I’ll make sure you receive the discount code for 50% off the $34.97 DaisyWhitney.com price.

Hey all you video creators! You might have heard that I am now a “core eGuider,” which means I contribute video picks in various categories, such as news, comedy, music, each week to the eGuiders.com site. I just learned that eGuiders now wants video playlists from me twice a week, so I want your ideas! Send me your favorite videos and the best ones you come across for me to check out. The best way to reach me is by email at daisywhitney@gmail.com or by leaving a comment here on my site. And while you’re at it, if you’re a content maker you definitely should take a look at my just-published E-Book on fair use of content and online video, available here.

Been wondering if you can use music in a video series? Show b-roll from Hulu? Run a photo from the Associated Press in your blog? Wonder no more! Because I’ve demystified the doctrine of fair use and detailed what you can and can’t use in your Web show, podcast, blog and other media creations in my new E-Book: “Keeping You and Your Content Out of Court.” It’s available here on this site — click the link above or visit the eBooks section — for $34.97. That’s 30% off the retail price of $49.99. It’s a must-read for media producers and will give you valuable and easy-to-understand insight into how fair use works and what you need to know to stay out of court.
