As many of you know, the past few weeks have been hard on the outdoor publishing industry with Nat Geo Adventure going down. What’s interesting is that it has prompted some good conversation about the new era of publishing, between myself and a bunch of outdoor industry journo heavies, namely Steve Casimiro who keeps the site: The Adventure LIfe and Doug Schnitzpahn Editor over at Elevation Outdoors. I’ve captured the conversation from Doug’s FB page for everyone to read, as I thought the conversation to be important. Please comment, we’d love to hear everyone’s thoughts.
This was a very rich conversation that was not only wonderfully executed, but it brought to light a topic that many people aren’t discussing or are, perhaps, afraid to face. Digital media is taking a very exciting and new transition that, for those who understand it, is creating amazing success.
My favorite part of this entire conversation was Steve’s final words being that all the digital media’s can cover the same content, but all will have different perspectives. That’s what media & news is all about: conversation. Stiv & Steve- that’s why your both amazing at what you do :)
Great read.
