Out of Print
Out of Print: Newspapers, Journalism and the Business of News in the Digital Age | George Brock
29 posts | 1 read | 3 to read
News and journalism are in the midst of upheaval. How does news publishing change when a newspaper sells as little as 300,000 copies but its website attracts 31 million visitors? These shifts are forcing assumptions and practices to be rethought from first principles. The internet is not simply allowing faster, wider distribution of material: digital technology is demanding transformative change. Journalism needs to be rethought on a global scale and remade to meet the demands of new conditions. Out of Print examines the past, present and future for a fragile industry battling a 'perfect storm' of falling circulations, reduced advertising revenue, rising print costs and the impact of 'citizen journalists' and free news aggregators. Author George Brock argues that journalism can flourish in a new communications age, and explains how current theory and practice have to change to fully exploit developing opportunities. Providing a unique examination of every key issue, from the phone-hacking scandal and Leveson Inquiry to the impact of social media on news and expectations, Out of Print presents an incisive, authoritative analysis of the role and influence of journalism in the digital age.

Out of Print has these limited edition Lumos Library Squad glow in the dark tees in HP house colors (or at least close because they did Ravenclaw as dark blue). 💙🦅

The left shows the red tee & the right shows the glow-in-the-dark lantern! Cool, right?

Preorders end Sunday. Each purchase helps the HP Alliance staff provide resources & support for their trans chapter organizers & 10% of the purchase price will support the Trevor Project.

Thanks to @wanderinglynn I just ordered this beauty of a t-shirt from Out of Print Books. 🤩🤩

Its a different version of the one she posted but the gist is the same. I cheaped out on the shipping though so it's looking like a month long wait for Canada. 🤷‍♂️

I just saw the most Litsy-worthy documentary ever on Amazon Prime for free! It‘s about the evolution and revolution of the book and written word and how things have changed in this digital age...where is our society going in literacy and readership? Check it out! It‘s entitled “Out of Print”. The Strand is featured on there, and it‘s 54 minutes, narrated by Meryl Streep. I‘d love to know what you think after watching it! Let‘s discuss it!

Wbabdullah @BookBabe @MrBook have you seen this documentary? 6y
Wbabdullah Folks, do you think libraries or physical books will become extinct? 6y
MrBook Whoooaa 😳! Most business-forecasting publications list librarian as a solid career choice in the coming decades. The irony of the Internet is that professionals are needed more than ever to organize, distribute, and disseminate information now. 😁😇🤓 6y

MrBook As to physical books, Nielsen and other data-driven companies gave a presentation at Book Expo showing that e-book and device sales plateaued in 2014 and have actually begun to decline in the last couple years. The interpretation is that the novelty is wearing off and many individuals have come to find benefits in physical books after putting them aside (grass is greener on the other side sort of thing). 6y
Kaylamburson I actually just read an article or the other day about why Librarians won't become extinct. https://ischool.syr.edu/infospace/2017/11/06/8-jobs-that-wont-exist-2030-librari.... And what @MrBook said about eBooks. They are not even close to the majority of the market. Surveyed millennials actually prefer print, too, and that's the upcoming generation of our future. 6y
JaclynW Looks interesting! One of my New Year's resolutions is going to be *watch more documentaries.* 😊 I will add this to my list! 6y
Wbabdullah @MrBook @Kaylamburson Great points! Needed some realistic perspective so I wouldn‘t go into anxiety attack mode over a possible extinction of books. I don‘t think physical books will ever die. And love your point @MrBook about the need to organize and disseminate info with the advent of the internet. That is one important job. With great power comes great responsibility. 6y
Wbabdullah @JaclynW happy to be of service for your TBW (to be watched) list. And it‘s so short, I wasn‘t even planning on watching TV last night but it was a good hour spent. Made me think of our world in a different way as I reflected on my childhood when the Internet began its popularity parade. 6y
Kaylamburson No need to worry about a world without books. It's not going to happen 😊. At least definitely not in the next few lifetimes @Wbabdullah 6y
JaclynW @Wbabdullah Documentaries are usually time well spent. Getting our brains thinking is always a good sign! 😊 I think I'm having my children join me on this resolution. The next generation needs to get their brains prepped, wouldn't you agree? 6y

An older couple came up to the Circ Desk to check out some books. When I asked if they wanted a bag, the woman said she has her own. She laid this out on the desk. Well...I'll be ?! I said, "I know the guys who run that business. One of the best darn businesses I've ever had the pleasure to shop from!" They said a family member bought it for them. You're products are around these here parts, @outofprint ???! #LitsyLovesLibraries #LibraryStory

So Penguin Random House just bought Out Of Print... at least the clothing line. Wonder what it means for us, #Littens?

ruthemmielang I hope they don't just pimp merch themed on their own titles...😕 7y

MidnightBookGirl @Reecaspieces @MrBook @BookishClaire @Bklover @Sarah86 @drokka At least it's not Amazon! I have hope that this little piece of social media will stay awesome (although I'm still really miffed that when Penguin Random House merged they didn't choose to go by Random Penguin). Cha 7y
MidnightBookGirl Ugh, that last sentence was going to be Change can be scary, but sometimes it's good. But the only change I was looking for in Litsy was more stickers and frames. 7y
drokka Too true about Amazon.m, that struggle is real. I'm going to stay positive, until we hear one way or the other. With any luck, Listy still remains a place of solace for book lovers. 7y
MidnightBookGirl @drokka Me too! I freaked for a moment last night when the Hubs told me, but I'm calmer now. I just wish I was some kind of computer genius, Just in case Litsy goes poof then maybe we make our own. 7y

Meant to post this yesterday, but I got distracted. My favorite #bookishgoods are these Out of Print totes. I keep several on hand & give them as children's gifts - just take the bag to a monogram shop (or someone crafty), have the child's name stenciled in the borrower line & drop a book in the bag if you're feeling extra nice. Cute "wrapping paper" & an excellent library bag! #riotgrams

LeahBergen That's a wonderful gift-giving idea. ❤ 7y
