From News
With a trying 2008 and 2009 behind us, most publishers who attended the 2010 Publishing Business Conference & Expo (

The presentations and discussions focused on industry shifts and practical information to help publishers adapt and thrive.

Across the conference, magazine publishers embraced aggressive flexibility.

Taking Some Eggs Out of the Ad-Revenue Basket
March 2009
From Publishing Executive
Many magazines today are bleeding profits. Ad revenues are down in almost every market segment, and right now, there’s no telling when—or if—they are going to come back.
