Two weeks’ worth of dog and pony shows produced by digital platforms and media companies to educate, entertain, and entice advertisers to spend an ever-increasing percentage of their budgets on digital programming commenced on May 5, 2016 with executive discussing the dearth of premium programming at a MediaLink breakfast and concluded on May 13, 2016 with a quick look at Mashable’s expanded video efforts

You can check out our comprehensive coverage of nearly all the 38 official NewFronts events (plus a few unofficial ones) right here to get some insight into this year’s presentations and see if they were worthwhile or just shouts of feigned enthusiasm into an industry echo chamber.
