There are casting notices out there for SAG new media productions under the “SAG New Media Contract.” First, this is not the new media sideletter recently negotiated with the AMPTP (major studios) as part of the theatrical contract. Rather, it’s a new media contract (the SAG New Media Agreement) that’s been available to independent producers for a number of years—that is, producers who are not signatories to the theatrical and/or agreements.

SAG eventually does a deal with the studios, will SAG and its smaller rival, AFTRA, peacefully share jurisdiction in new media? Although no one else has publicly raised this issue to my knowledge, buried in the SAG deal on the table are the seeds of a scathing fight for control of the future of new media. The issue is which union has jurisdiction over original programming made for new media. Tags: SAG AMPTP new media AFTRA strike When (if?)

In the “While you were out” department, the American Federation of Musicians and the studios signed a new deal. The New Media template adopted by the above the line unions and guilds and by IATSE has now been adopted by the Musicians as well. For instance, when a television show is streamed on ad-supported new media (such as the free version of Hulu), the above the line unions and guilds receive residuals but IATSE and AFM don’t.

Digital media marketers are aggressively increasing the use of so-called sponsored content, or native advertising to reach new customers. Particularly with the growing use of ad blockers on web and mobile browsers, marketers have sought to present advertising in a new form that can circumvent automated blocking and somehow capture the attention of users who may face a barrage of digital display ads everyday.

These revised guidelines directly impact the established practices of broadcasters and new media companies. It is vital that media companies, in particular new media, understand the key provisions of these guidelines to make sure that they don’t become a target of any FTC enforcement action. For broadcast advertising, the new guidelines make clear that endorsers can themselves be liable for misleading statements made during a product pitch.
