As in previous editions, Next 5 Minutes is more than an event for presentation and debate about media, it is also an event where a lot of media-output is produced on site. The nerve centre of the media production during N5M4 will be the Hybrid Media Studio. The concept takes the fusion of different media-forms within a hybridised digital media network as its starting point. Radio, television, internet, wireless transmission, satellite and other forms of electronic media production continue to exist in their own right, but they are also more and more often combined into expanded media formats that involve two or more media at once. The Hybrid Media Studio brings these different media-forms together in one space, and connects them to all available media-infrastructures. Amsterdam offers unique possibilities for non-commercial free media programming on local TV and radio, as well as various web-casting facilities. From the Hybrid Media Studio continuous live programming will be fed to local media outlets, to international (satellite-) outlets, to national broadcasting organisations, and to local media partners in other cities in the world. What makes the studio hybrid is its trans-genre approach, and its trans-local distribution.
