On the Road to New Media: Lessons learned in the transformation to digital - Paperback

by Cheryl Rhodes (Author), Tony Bove (Author)

No other book describes this paper-to-digital transformation from the inside. As co-authors, publishers, producers, and media entrepreneurs, Tony Bove and Cheryl Rhodes have always been advocates of this transformation, never shying from its grand purpose of advancing freedom of the press and expression.

"A great read. On one hand are two kids trying their best to help the world be a better place, and on the other are people who say they want to make the world a better place, too, but who act like their idea of 'better' is 'with my logo on it.'"

- Richard Landry, Editor-in-chief, New Media magazine
