Way too many articles about what we learned over the past 12 months.
As this year comes to an end, it is time to look back (just for a couple minutes, one should always keep looking forward) at what we learned and how the content and television landscape changed in the past 365 days.
I decided to build a list of what I believe were key articles we recommended over the past 51 Monday mornings (today is the 52nd of the year if my calculations are right).
I promise, next week we go back to our regular programming and will focus on a single article, every Monday morning.
I wish you all a very happy New Year and hope to be sitting at a table to discuss some of the subjects linked below with as many of you as possible in the next 12 months.
So here we go, 21 articles still worth reading. To ease on readability, I split them into themes.
