If "Gossip Girl" premiered today, it would be a digital-video series, according to Dawn Ostroff, former president of entertainment at The CW Television Network, which aired the teenage melodrama for six seasons starting in 2007.Speaking at the Interactive Advertising Bureau's annual conference Monday, Ms. Ostroff, now president of Conde Nast Entertainment, said digital video would allow the show's creators to dive deeper into the show's many characters with short videos that accompany the episodes.
