It might be a little off topic but I think we're going to see similar movements in literary magazines, kind of like what we're doing over at The Rumpus. What I mean is, literary authors have always been willing to publish really good writing for very little money in prestige publications like Tin House, The Paris Review, etc. Some of these radical shifts that we're seeing in big publishing are going to be happening in the kinds of places that authors publish not necessarily for a living but as art and an adjunct to their books and careers.Stephen Elliotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14751529784558345142noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28278131.post-77005946596174586842009-01-04T14:31:00.000-05:002009-01-04T14:31:00.000-05:00Agreed with Mike, I've just twittered it, adding t...Agreed with Mike, I've just twittered it, adding that it is so forward-looking it's even dated for tomorrow.<BR/><BR/>To pick up on the same topic Mike just did, I think Rachel Sklar's new business, providing journalists' media intelligence to corporations, is one broad example of that kind of activity.<BR/><BR/>Of course, here at Soft Skull I just have to keep figuring out how to adapt the old ways to the new ways...Richard Nashhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05886541689307156853noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28278131.post-20920154108762982532009-01-03T14:39:00.000-05:002009-01-03T14:39:00.000-05:00Michael,This is a great post.

It really deserves wide circulation.<BR/><BR/>The one thing that really struck me was the prediction that "journalists" could benefit from the paradigm that I'd call "everybody's a publisher now": the need you identify for content on non-media web sites. Absolutely right, but this should also be a market for publishing organizations, not just for people to get employed. To the extent that it is a really GROWING market, it could become part of the market for "chunks" that has been a topic of discussion in other forums.Mike Shatzkinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06379396250041253335noreply@blogger.com
