What are the main trends in book publishing?
The main trends recently have to be E-Publishing. Allowing the reader to get their book electronically, either on their iPhone and iPod or on their Kindle. These electric books have made plenty of money for book publishers. People do not have to wait in line to order a book; they can simply download it right on to their devices in a fast and quick way. In addition, online bookstores can “remember” what you purchased and recommend other books the reader may like.
What are the main copyright issues for print media?
There are plenty of copyright issues for print media. There is such a thing called intellectual property, which means a person owns the right to their creative work that has not been published. People do not like the idea that someone is borrowing their idea or story and making money out of it. J.K. Rowling had this problem when someone claimed that she had stolen her idea, but as we know Rowling had though up Harry Potter on her own. A person must get permission in order to use a picture or an idea that is clearly someone else’s.
