PW Daily newsletter changes
from today's PW Daily:
For those new to the scene, there's been a turf war (or at least the closest the book world ever gets), between PW Daily and Publisher's Lunch in the industry email newsletter category. I end up just reading both. It's interesting that PW is going to a free model. The new editor, Sara Nelson, has been brought in to make the magazine more relevant to the industry. One of the frequent complaints has been that the articles are too focused on reporting profit and loss statements for the largest publishers and booksellers. This piece mentions a mandate to add emphasis on booksellers. Hooray!

A Different Kind of MergerNo news yet on how to subscribe, I guess keep checking the PW website.
It's almost 3 1/2 years since PW NewsLine launched, and a lot longer since the founding of the original PW Daily--which we worked on all the way back in the Paleolithic age of 1997. But the only thing constant is change, which is as good a way as any of introducing the news that we'll be combining our two newsletters into one larger entity--a super-newsletter, if you will--starting next week. Same publishing scoops and punchy commentary as we've always had, just a different layout and an added emphasis on booksellers, as per PW Daily's mandate. The new newsletter will be free to all, so tell your friends and unsubscribed (read: non-paying) colleagues.
