WOW, when people ask how long I've been in the Internet and new media business, I often hear my colleagues say "Joyce Schwarz was in new media before it was new media".
Why because I truly saw it all coming in the future! It was the perfect fit for my varied background in journalism (on the staff of New York magazines), in advertising with major agencies like Foote Cone & Belding as an executive, specializing in new product/company launches and first of its kind products! Plus a masters degree in film from USC's School of Cinema & Entertainment & hands on production experience in the areas of TV, Film & CD ROM promo.
A few people look at me skeptical and ask -- was I really there and I often feel like I need to PROVE I WAS around in 90 and by 92 was not onlly writing about the new tech but producing and hosting a cable TV SHOW called "TURNED ON HOLLYWOOD" about Hollywood meets Silicon Valley in Los Angeles.
Sorting through some old files, I found a newsletter I had started back in 1992 called LA INSIDE/OUT and I saw that it talks about the first TV SHOW of TURNED ON HOLLYWOOD and gives some fascinating stats. The newsletter and show both had their debut in June, 1992 just after I conducted the very first workshops on new media for the DGA (Directors Guild of America WEST) and then was flown to NYC to do another private workshop for the DIRECTORS GUILD OF AMERICA EAST.
