How is publishing changing?

"Publishing is not evolving. Publishing is going away. Because the word “publishing” means a cadre of professionals who are taking on the incredible difficulty and complexity and expense of making something public. That’s not a job anymore. That’s a button. There’s a button that says “publish,” and when you press it, it’s done." (Clay Shirky)

From “How We Will Read”, an interview series exploring the future of books from the perspectives of publishers, writers, and intellectuals.
