I’ll keep this short. The inspiration for this post comes from yet another a recent NYT article on the demise of Publishing (go ahead and read it – I’ll wait.) When I read the comments of my colleague Ellen Gerstein, I knew I had to throw my two cents in as well.
The publishing life described in the NYT article does not reflect my more than a decade of experience in the industry. So, when we are all lumped into the types of antics described in the article, it’s no wonder people show little sympathy for the current challenges in the print publishing world.
I’m here to tell you that most of us the publishing industry do not enjoy huge expense accounts and 3 martini lunches.
Our industry is not dying, but it is evolving – rapidly. And those of us in the publishing business are up against many challenges, the least of which is expensive lunches and other indulgences taken by the minority.
