I am once again begging big 5 publishers to invest in rebuilding book media by starting their own newspapers/journals/magazines. That plus helping keep indie bookstores open would do so goddamn much for the industry
I will never stop banging this drum -- publishers (honestly anyone distributing creative work rn), need to try something new! bring back the atrophied part of their marketing brains that involves something other than "post through it"
In all seriousness, publishers are going to have to figure out how to market books in the post-social-media landscape. That should be an implicit part of their job. What authors/artists can do on their own is increasingly limited and siloed.

Driving around the city on a fruitless quest, I passed by a couple of hand-written signs announcing a “Wrestling Sale” over on Polonia Street and I have questions.
