Shatzkin kicked off the discussion by noting a shift in the consumer media landscape— from the horizontal, format-specifi c coverage of the 20th century to the new, 21st-century content-delivery models in which “communities rule,” content is organized vertically and formats are rendered insignifi cant online. He touched on some of the implications of this shift for book publishers, including reduced opportunities for horizontal promotional media, such as shrinking book review sections, and the concern that a younger generation weaned on the Internet may be steering away from the book’s long form, citing the popularity of text messaging and the manga genre among adolescents and young adults.
