Daniel Frankel

Bio:

Daniel Frankel is the co-founder and editor-in-chief of Next TMT. Over two decades, this Los Angeles-based journalist has assembled a deep, rich and varied portfolio of skills, skills that make him very dangerous to those who don’twant to better understand what is happening to tech, media and entertainment businesses still being roiled by digital disruption.Working on staff as both a reporter and editor for national publications including Adweek, Variety, TheWrap, paidContent, FierceCable and Next TV, Daniel has covered almost every beat imaginable — from home video distribution to the global box office, from cable broadband to video streaming, from the broadcast TV upfronts to CableTecExpo. What some might call raggedly haphazard career management has resulted in a wildly unique, broadly holistic understanding of the seismic changes occuring every day in technology, media and telecom.

Santa Moncia based David Bloom is co-founder/contributor for newsletter Next TMT, CEO of Words & Deeds Media, and a senior contributor to Forbes. He consults on content and communications strategy, has taught digital media at the USC School of Cinematic Arts, is a former Associate Dean at the USC Marshall School of Business, and guest lectures regularly at schools such as UCLA, USC, Boston University, Syracuse, Nebraska, California State University-Northridge, Pepperdine, and Chapman. Bloom previously was an award-winning staff writer and editor for Variety, Deadline,Red Herring, and the Los Angeles Daily News, and was VP of corporate communications at MGM and head of communications with the Los Angeles Community Redevelopment Agency. Bloom graduated with honors from the University of Missouri School of Journalism.
