Yesterday evening, a group of some of the most influential people in UK publishing braved the temperamental British weather to discuss the publishing industry with Bo Sacks; a publishing and media guru from America.
Bo Sacks has been in publishing since 1970, and lays claim to authoring the longest-running e-newsletter in the world: "Heard on the Web: Media Intelligence". This daily newsletter covers the good, bad and ugly news about the industry, with detailed commentary on statistics and insightful opinion pieces from around the publishing world.

The digital world can be tough. Terms come and go at such a pace, and before you know it, everyone's chattering about HTML and mobile-first strategies without having ever stopped to explain what they mean.

Google have announced a significant restructure, creating Alphabet as a giant umbrella company to host its smaller divisions.
Google itself will retain Search, Android, YouTube, Ads, Maps and Apps, as well as most of its technical infrastructure. The changes come with the management of the spin-off divisions, like the auto-driving cars, Google Glass, Calico and the business and investment funds. These will (if they haven't already) gain their own CEO's, and will be able to operate largely independently of Google, allowing the slimmed-down company to focus on what it does best.
