Radio Documentary - ARTS2090

Radio documentary - ARTS2090 by hsan66

This is my final assessment for the Publics and Publishing course (ARTS2090). I did it in the form of a radio documentary and it answers the first question that was listed in the assessment's guidelines:

1) ‘It makes increasingly less sense even to talk about a publishing industry, because the core problem publishing solves—the incredible difficulty, complexity, and expense of making something available to the public—has stopped being a problem.’
(Clay Shirky, ‘Newspapers and Thinking the Unthinkable’, http://www.shirky.com/weblog/2009/03/newspapers-and-thinking-the-unthinkable/).

How much do digital and networked media dismantle the “publishing industry”? Is it being replaced? If so, what is replacing it? If not, what is surviving of the older publishing industry, and how is it doing so?

The music at the beginning and the end is from Nathan Chamberland which I downloaded from AudioMicro; a website that allows you to use their content in audio productions.
