Media Industry - 2007
Frankfurt Book Fair
11/10/2007
It's that time of year when all the important folk of the book industry gather in Frankfurt, as they deal and scheme at the World's largest annual book fair.
Andrew Wilkins, publisher of Bookseller + Publisher magazine and the online Weekly Book Newsletter is there.
He spoke to Ramona Koval about the heightened emphasis on digital publishing and rights, about the featured language and culture of Catalan -- but most importantly it seems for Andrew they spoke about food and food writing.
The words and letters portfolio - Arts Minister Senator George Brandis
10/05/2007
In this election year, we've invited the Federal Arts Minister and the Shadow Arts Minister to tell us what's in store for the publishing industry, and our literary culture, should their respective party win the election.
There's no doubt that writing is the backbone of the arts; and books are a defining part of our cultural landscape. Yet in discussions about arts policy, books and publishing are given scant attention.
Joining us today in our Canberra studio is the Federal Minister for Arts and Sport, Senator George Brandis.
