Abstract
This paper examines trends in the publishing industry caused by the effect of such factors as the birth of the PC and the globalization of the internet as well as economic factors. It looks at how small presses are being bought out by larger chains which can negotiate volume deals with publishers, while also offering customers discount on propriety books published under their own labels. It shows how internet booksellers, most notably the avaricious Amazon.com have made it so that book customers can find just about any title at below suggested retail. It also discusses how the advancement of technologies such as dvds, ebooks and online libraries are also cutting into the market affecting the need for printed material.
From the Paper
"The independent bookstores (known in the industry as "indies') are in trouble, if not on the edge of extinction, being replaced in part by larger chain stores such as Barnes and Noble, and Borders who pull in customers with coffee shop atmospheres and non-book products. The chains can negotiate volume deals with publishers, while also offering customers discount on propriety books -- titles that are published under their own labels. Internet booksellers, most notably the avaricious Amazon.com have made it so that book customers can find just about any title at below suggested retail."

The music business as a whole adapted to each of these changes as well, and the music industry and the music publishing industry have had a symbiotic relationship as each feeds the needs of the other.

From the Paper
"Mass circulation began in the 1800s. Only the upper classes read magazines until 1880. The poor people read newspapers and weekly tabloids since magazines were expensive. Printing technology was limited to publishers. Making the copies just took too long to print. After 1880, magazines began selling at a lower cost because people learned how to read. The publishers were trying to appeal to the lower-middle class who were now more educated. For example, the Saturday Evening Post sold for five-cents a copy. Since magazines became inexpensive and were at the disposal of the public, the powerful and fashionable lost their control of the arts. Magazines became a mass medium."

"Obviously, a digital publisher has to have their own web site. In addition, they will also include advertising in online publications and on popular web-sites. The ads can take many forms but should always include a link back to the publisher?s own web site. Such ads can and should be ?personalized? towards the audience of the particular publication or web site. A more personal approach is to use email. Established publishers will want to use their client list. Newer and smaller publishers may need to augment their own lists by purchasing lists from other sources. These sources can include everything from opt-in subscription lists to email addresses harvested from a variety of sources."
