Reading Salvatore email and looking at the links he
suggested, I was wandering if the words "publisher" and
"publishing" were not changing meanings (or recovering an
original meaning ?).
Publishing is "making things public", it has been attached
to printed matters for many years, it is interesting that it
needed "new electronic media" to be detached from the
printed format.
Television has not been seen as a "publishing" system, which
it is.
So, I suspect that my question tonight is : can we define
new names to label the different forms of "making things
public" ?
