Students in Simon Fraser University's Master of Publishing program gather their research and analysis into a collective examination of how technology transforms their industry. They investigate epublishing platforms, emerging business strategies, and the role of crowdsourcing alongside social media in modern publishing. Their work appears across three formats: blog posts, digital editions, and traditional print publications. The students treat their experimental publishing process as research itself, documenting both their discoveries and their methods. Their findings create resources that serve the broader publishing community, offering insights into how the industry adapts to technological change.
