July 27, 2010
Global Leaders Institute will be hosting the Digital Publishing Asia Pacific 2010 event in November in China. Everybody who's anybody will be there to hash out the inevitable problems in a huge emerging market...This press release and report is from PRNewswire :
Hosted by Global Leaders Institute, world digital publishing industry leaders will convene at Digital Publishing Asia Pacific 2010 (DPAP2010) on November 16th and 17th in Beijing China. The two-day executive summit will examine the hot-button issues facing the digital publishing industry and explore partnering opportunities in the industry in China. The goal of the summit is to find solutions to the developmental bottlenecks of the digital publishing industry in China.
Since the beginning of 2009, the Chinese digital publishing industry has been attracting attention worldwide that the headlines of business media are constantly occupied by various kinds of news about Chinese digital publishing enterprises. For instance, Shanda Literature's digital publishing model was well received at the Frankfurt Book Fair 2009; China Publishing Group plans to raise as much as 1.8 billion yuan ($264 million) in an initial public offering in Shanghai by the end of 2010; Chineseall, the largest ebook aggregator and distributor in China rolled out a Copyright Purchase plan with a total investment of 10 million yuan ($1.48 million), aiming to further expand its content base; and Hanwang has just announced partnership with 40 Newspapers, which certainly strengthens its leading position in the China eReader industry. From all the news it is not difficult to find out that the Chinese digital publishing enterprises have not slowed their pace to extend their domain, even in face of the economic recession.
Over 150 high-profile attendees from traditional/digital publishers from home and abroad will gather under the same roof to elaborate themes on the evolution of China's publishing market, a profitable business model for digital publishing, transformation from book publisher to information provider, digital revolution in the educational publishing space, technology innovations of DRM (Digital Rights Management), XML and DAM (Digital Asset Management), multi-channel publishing best practices, eBook format standardization, mobile reading developmental trends, future prospects of eReader, etc.

Journalism and online news needs no "protection" by the FTC (by changing and expanding laws) in order to survive on the internet in the digital publishing age...They just need to publish news better with unique interactivity that people will be willing to pay for.

Representatives of the late British writer, Adrian Jacobs, think so! And they are also charging the US publishers.
Writer, Old-Warrior-Adventurer, Blogger... I was born in Key West, Florida. A rather famous hangout for some past famous writers: Hemingway and Tennessee Williams to name two. I just hope that I possess a glimmer of their talent. I have a bachelors degree in architecture/construction and a master's degree in industrial engineering. I have been writing for fifty plus years. Most of my writing has been in the technical, instructional and business areas. I am working on my first book: "Havana Harvest---When Cuba Was Naughty" which details my coming of age experiences in 1958 Havana, Cuba, at the age of 15.
