NBC News Forms Publishing Division

Publishers have been working with television and movie studios to find video and audio content to create enhanced e-books and now NBC News has announced that it has formed NBC Publishing to use those assets to create their own digital books. NBC v-p Michael Fabiano has been appointed general manager of NBC Publishing and the company has hired two publishing veterans to lead its new efforts: Peter Costanzo, previously with F+W Media and Perseus Books Group, has been named creative director, and Brian Perrin, most recently with Rodale, has been named director of digital development.
