Talk about making media this group of creative start ups are making media A TON OF IT! They are the “Ted Turners” of Chicago’s Northshore. Starting in a garage… well they are still in a garage ( no reason you can’t have a great studio in a garage) they are building a media empire with an impressive line up of shows that are covering all kinds of happenings in Chicago and the Internet.

Everyone from book publishers to magazine concerns to TV networks have been trying to figure out their tablet and iPad strategies. And now the premium cable network Starz partnered with book publisher Penguin in a deal that helps Starz promote an original series and helps Penguin promote its author Ken Follet’s bestseller The Pillars of the Earth with a so-called “amplified edition.”

This past weekend, I had the opportunity to attend Startup Weekend Chicago.
