Sign of the Times: Open Road partners with BlogHer for ebook anthology

At the heart of the digital disruption the publishing industry has been pushing through for the last few years has been the very nature of content and how it is delivered to those who would consume it.

Even in our own publishing group here in Philadelphia, where we put out Book Business and Publishing Executive magazines—along with your favorite daily publishing e-newsletter—we confront this idea all the time. Where do we cover ebooks put out by magazine publishers—in the magazine for book publishers or the one for magazine publishers? Where does something like McSweeney's Lucky Peach, a periodical with an ISBN get written up? And don't get us started about scientific publishers who tore down those walls decades ago, producing books, journals, directories and data sets?
