__HMH has essentially dismantled its paperback program for the children’s division. In its place, according to a company spokesperson, HMH has created a structure for editors to oversee the entire publication process of their books, from hardcover acquisition through to paperback publication. “At HMH BFYR we’re positioning ourselves to build on our tremendous legacy and successes and invest in new opportunities,” Cat Onder, senior v-p and publisher of HMH Books for Young Readers, said in a statement. “Our moving forward strategy is to empower editors to oversee all editions of their books for a more focused and streamlined publishing process.” The layoffs also affected editors and marketing, licensing, and publicity staff in the adult trade, culinary, and reference divisions. Cuts were anticipated this week in the educational publishing group. An initial round of layoffs began in March. via HMH Lays Off 11 from Children’s Division _

__A book about sharing and open business models “We analyzed the revenue models, customer segments, and value propositions of each endeavor. We searched for ways that putting their content under Creative Commons licenses helped boost sales or increase reach. Using traditional measures of economic success, we tried to map these business models in a way that meaningfully incorporated the impact of Creative Commons. In our interviews, we dug into the motivations, the role of CC licenses, modes of revenue generation, definitions of success.” _ https://lnkd.in/eSii83g

Hi Folks! One week left to apply for a product manager role on my team. Really looking for someone with digital media experience. If you have worked in broadcast or journalism I’m really, really interested in talking to you. At a time when journalism has been threatened by economic forces – with an estimated 10,000 jobs lost in the past decade – TVO provides more context and analysis on the issues that matter. It’s also a great place to work!
