MacVoices #14202: Christopher Breen on Macworld Changes, The State of Publishing, and Snark

Oct 3, 2014 | Business, Commentary, MacNotables, Print, Productivity, Publisher, Web

Chuck Joiner, Christopher Breen

Macworld Senior Editor Christopher Breen  checks in on some of the changes at Macworld magazine, how they are affecting him, and how they will impact what you read going forward. Those changes are not unique to Macworld; Chris and host Chuck Joiner  cover the challenges of publishing in the  Internet age and why the search is still on for a functional monetary support system. The conversation turns to social media, the proliferation of snark, and how that affects everyone’s perceptions.
