SYNOPSIS
This Mediabistro Circus panel addresses the exciting and challenging transformation of the publishing industry as it continues to explore online opportunities.

At Edutopia, a print and digital publication of the The George Lucas Educational Foundation, Jim Daly creates a rich multimedia resource. Paul Cloutier is successfully swimming against the current by creating new print publications entirely from community submissions.

The Economist, like everyone else, is trying to figure out how to put content online and make money. Publisher Paul Rossi tells us how they’re doing it.
