Where there is change, there is opportunity. That article pushes my heartrate up. It mentions lots of major industry changes during 2009 and projects more to come. One PW "biggest headline" surprised me. I didn't know Borders was in such big financial trouble. With a 42 million dollar loan due in April, it will be interesting to see if they can pay it. It will also be fascinating to watch Jane Friedman's new company, Open Road Integrated Media, as she plunges into the digital marketplace. I like a lot of her innovative ideas. Thanks for pointing out this article.
