In Another discussion report, for Manitoba Modern Economics, Technology and the Environment. This is the second part in a two-part series on new media. The second part talks about how Manitoba can be a leader in Canada, in the video game and new media entertainment industry . The report mentions that video games have come a long way from their humble beginnings and now a main stream form of entertainment, in large part thanks to the Internet and expansion of on-line console gaming.
The report recommends investments by the government of Manitoba to expand the Interactive Media Digital Tax Credit, as well as encourage universities and colleges like the University of Winnipeg and Red River College to team up and offer joint degrees in video game/interactive entertainment production. Lastly the paper supports the idea of an interactive entertainment job fair to match employers with skilled workers.
