I spent nearly 40 years working in the publishing/media industry. While I retired from my full-time leadership role about 18 months ago, I still do a lot of consulting for and speaking to publishing industry executives. During these challenging days for all of us, I have been compiling links to articles, blogs and other resources that I hope are helpful to leaders in a variety of industries and not-for-profit sectors. But, I have been especially attentive to compiling links for my many friends in the publishing and media industries. While there may be some things here of interest to those of you who don't work in this arena, this particular blog is primarily for those who do.
