Digital Publishing: Connecting Publishers to New Media Consumers
Going digital isn’t easy. Here at Boxcar Marketing we’ve been struggling with the lack of information available on how publishers can go digital.
If you’re a publisher who’s ready to implement a digital strategy and want more information on digital formats, distribution, and digital rights management, SFU’s Digital Publishing: Connecting Publishers to New Media Consumers workshop is a great opportunity to learn the steps to digitization.
Put on by SFU’s Summer Publishing Workshops, the workshop runs July 23 – 24 at SFU Harbourcentre.
The cost for both days is $275.
From the SFU Summer Publishing Workshop website:
This workshop will provide answers and prompt questions to get the information you need to create your own digital roadmap. If you are not doing something, you may find you will soon be playing catch up. By the end of the two days you will understand the phrases and definitions and identify what kinds of formats best suit your needs. Some key points you will learn:
* Determine which formats can best deliver your content
* Determine business objectives for an initial foray into digital publishing
* Determine your requirements from third party service providers
* Understand XML
* Discuss the pros and cons of DRM
* Hear what the future of publishing may look like
