11. The device of claim 1 , wherein the operations comprise:
identifying a geographic location associated with the ingested content item;
determining a distance between the geographic location associated with the ingested content item and a geographic location of the mobile device exceeds a distance threshold resulting in a determination; and
identifying the ingested content item based on the determination.
12. A non-transitory, machine-readable storage medium, comprising executable instructions that, when executed by a processing system including a processor, facilitate performance of operations, comprising:
obtaining an indication that a portion of a media content item has been viewed on a mobile device;
generating a consumption profile based on the portion of the media content item that has been viewed on the mobile device;
identifying a length of time for the portion of the media content item that has been viewed on the mobile device;
obtaining a schedule for ingestion of a plurality of content items based on a content subject matter and a first content source;
searching the first content source for a portion of the plurality of content items related to the content subject matter according to the schedule for ingestion and the length of time for the portion of the media content item that has been viewed on the mobile device;
receiving an ingested content item from the first content source over a first communication network, wherein the ingested content item includes a content lifecycle tag, and wherein the content lifecycle tag indicates a length of time associated with an availability of the ingested content item;
encoding the ingested content item according to the consumption profile of the ingested content item in response to processing the ingested content item according to the content lifecycle tag, wherein the processing includes at least one of stalemating the ingested content item, publishing the ingested content item, removing the ingested content item, archiving the ingested content item, performing a scheduled encoding of the ingested content item, skipping the scheduled encoding of the ingested content item, or tagging the ingested content item as no longer valid;
streaming the ingested content item to the mobile device over a second communication network;
detecting that congestion of a portion of the first communication network exceeds a congestion threshold;
pausing the streaming of the ingested content item to the mobile device over the second communication network;
receiving the ingested content item from a second content source over the first communication network that reduces the congestion on the portion of the first communication network; and
resuming the streaming of the ingested content item to the mobile device over the second communication network.
13. The non-transitory, machine-readable storage medium of claim 12 , wherein the obtaining of the schedule for ingestion is through an input to a user interface provided by a mobile media platform.
14. The non-transitory, machine-readable storage medium of claim 13 , wherein the mobile media platform selects a particular content subject matter of the plurality of content items.
15. The non-transitory, machine-readable storage medium of claim 12 , wherein the operations comprise identifying the consumption profile of the ingested content item.
16. The non-transitory, machine-readable storage medium of claim 15 , wherein the consumption profile includes attributes of the ingested content item, attributes of devices on which the ingested content item can be accessed, and attributes of networks on which the ingested content item can be delivered.
17. The non-transitory, machine-readable storage medium of claim 12 , determining the availability of the ingested content item according to a really simple syndication (RSS) tag of the ingested content item.
