Mr. Magazine™ (Samir Husni) Interviews: The Future of the Printed Word in a Digital Age

The Magazine Innovation Center at The University of Mississippi’s Meek School of Journalism has released a video from the ACT 2 Experience last October (http://micactexperience.wordpress.com/). They asked Jim Elliott and 16 other media experts their opinions about the future of the printed word in a digital age. Here are their answers.

Question One: What is the future of the printed word in a digital age?

Question Two: What advice would you give someone starting a new magazine?

Question Three: Is the magazine industry’s cup half full or half empty?

Act2 Experience

Jim Elliott recently presented "Selling Print in a Digital World" at Samir "Mr. Magazine" Husni's Act 2 Experience on October 28th in Oxford, Mississippi. 

ACT stands for Amplify, Clarify and Testify and the Experience, which lasted for two and a half days on the campus of The University of Mississippi’s Meek School of Journalism and New Media, teamed some of the top industry leaders with magazine media folks looking for solutions for today’s publishing problems. The think-and-do-experience (neither a course nor a conference) is an intimate gathering that is limited in number of attendees but not limited in ideas and solutions. This year's theme was “Restart Your Engines: The Future of the Printed Word.”
