RTS Futures assembled a panel of pioneers for its sold-out event at London's Hospital Club in late April, "I made it in… digital". An enthusiastic, youthful audience was eager to learn from their experiences of working at the cutting edge of new media. It learnt, perhaps surprisingly, that television - the dancing dad at an achingly hip party - still has a big role to play in the digital age. The digital arena is vast - and expanding rapidly. YouTube, the big daddy of new media, claims that more than 1 billion people watch its content, while Instagram and Twitter both have around 300 million monthly users.
