Editorial

The Internet is not only challenging traditional media, but it is also revolutionizing content creation. User-generated content has grown from mere blogs to multimedia shorts.

Visual media devices are becoming smaller by the minute! The latest innovation is the mobile TV technology that allows the user to watch broadcasts on palm-sized devices.

Awards, acquisitions and grants are helping companies morph to compete in this ever changing arena.

Featured White Paper
Title Branding And Publishing
Author Dr. James Hamilton
Company University of Georgia
Synopsis
The strategic goal of product and service advertising is to generate a brand—that is, a cluster of attitudes and feelings about a product or service that fulfills the strategic communication goals of the company. How well this strategic goal of branding applies to the publishing industry is an open question, however, with the primary difficulty coming from the complexities of copyright law as applied to artistic creation. This paper will briefly discuss branding and advertising, and will then present examples from the publishing industry that aspire to build a brand. Examples include branding of authors (such as John Grisham books) and the branding of book series (such as Harlequin as well as various academic and professional series). The paper will assess these examples and will conclude by suggesting a set of possible applications of branding as a strategic goal for publishers.
