The New Marketplace

  • My friend Emily Chaffee of Emphatic Space | e m p a t h i c s p a c e |  https://www.facebook.com/empathicspace  has successfully raised money for her further education by asking over social media.
  • Neil Gaiman gave a commencement address in which he talked about the new marketplace where traditional publishing modes are no longer appropriate.
  • Space Station Commander Chris Hadfield became an international sensation with his YouTube video without using the traditional media.

All these signs point to a changing media landscape in which traditional ink-on-dead-treed publishing seems to be irrelevant. It's time to learn about what is happening next, including self-publishing and a multimedia platform.
