(The post goes on in exploring the technical and commercial side of each medium. I think the title is unsuitable to the article but, as it was what stuck with me, it's what I'm going to address)
I think this is a non-question. Let me rephrase the question: "If I want to tell a story, what is the best medium to use in 2015 and beyond?".
My answer is "Whatever you want" followed by a more serious "None".
Because the choice of medium impacts in HOW the story is told. Having, for example, the Moby Dick story as a book is completely different from having it as a movie. Or as a game.
Of course the story may change slightly or have a different impact depending of the medium. Some stories work better in some media than others. Think of the story as data, and the medium as the format in which the medium is conveyed.
In a semi-related note, I want note that the big _connoisseurs_ of a medium start to focum more on how the medium is used than it's content (i.e. story stops being important, what's important is how it is told)
- chazu 11y agoI'll also add that the vast majority of creative people don't choose their medium based on its potential reach - they choose it based on where their passions lie. In order to make great art, an artist has to be passionate about the medium.
