The Aggregator: Publishing, Marketing, and Images
To kick off this first edition of Aggregator, an “about us” type description of what will be here: Everything for me points to content, so I’ll break it down to the three fields in which I’ve spent the most time, Publishing (usually digital), Marketing (usually content marketing focused), and images (the 1,000 words phrase comes … Continue reading
As Retailers Become Publishers, Can Publishers Retail?
I’ve written, tweeted, and posted on G+ many times about how the business world, particularly retailers, are becoming their own publishers. Now it appears some publishers are taking a shot at the retail world, and not by selling ads or their subs, but real retail sales. Mashable does a nice job covering the publishing industry, … Continue reading
NYMag Nails The Progress of Digital Publishing

Targeting News With Less of the Bubble Effect
Nieman Journalism Lab’s story, How NPR drove traffic to a local station by geotargeting stories on Facebook is interesting story on so many levels, but I particularly like the “content coffee shop test.” I’ve often written about Eli Pariser’s Filter Bubble and the concerns of how readers get their news now.

Moving On, Not Looking Back In Publishing
If only there was as much interest in reading newspapers as there is in their struggle for life (and relevance.) Granted, much of the discussion and debate is amongst journalist and former journalists, but these last few days have ramped it up the conversation. My favorites (so far:) Newspapers journalists’ new favorite independent blogger, Jim Romenesko looks back … Continue reading
