As his final term as the chief executive of the de facto media capital of the world winds down, New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg appears to be gearing up to resume his role in the media industry, but not before he leaves his official governmental stamp on Media Town.<\/strong> Bloomberg has scheduled a press conference this morning to unveil \u201cinitiatives to help New York City continue as the global media capital in the digital age.\u201d<\/p>\n

The announcement follows the release of study commissioned by Bloomberg\u2019s private foundation late Monday, which indicates that digital media is now the \u201csecond largest growth engine\u201d of New York City\u2019s economy. <\/strong>The report found that New York City\u2019s technology and information sector — including both traditional tech companies as well as media ones — has grown 11% since 2007, adding 26,000 jobs and $5.8 billion in wages to the local economy.<\/p>\n

\u201cUsing a conservative estimate, these jobs alone were responsible for approximately one-third of private sector job creation in New York during this time,\u201d the report concludes, estimating that New York City\u2019s rate of media tech job expansion outpaced every other large U.S. market except for San Francisco.<\/p>\n

The study also comes as Bloomberg has teamed with San Francisco Mayor Ed Lee to collaborate on a series of media technology summits reinforcing the two metros as \u201cthe nation\u2019s two leading digital cities.\u201d<\/strong> “New York has long been recognized as the capital of finance, fashion, media, and the arts — and we now have the numbers to demonstrate what has become increasingly clear: New York is the country’s hottest and most dynamic tech capital,\u201d Bloomberg stated in a release announcing the report.<\/p>\n
