Wary but Determined, Publishers are Preparing for the Digital Future – Publisher’s Weekly – Calvin Reid
While publishers may be a bit daunted, they are rapidly organizing their firms for digital: 75% of publishers have an executive level person responsible for digital; 63% report that digital skills are formally integrated into all departments; 69% of the publishers expect to increase digital staffing in 2012, while 22% expect overall company staffing to go down in 2012.
For the statistically inclined.

The question is, how does one get on board?
By the way, I have a bunch of free quick reads that can help you reach your goal. Not sure if you are counting eBooks though lol. Anyways, I would love to get a job making people book covers, editing their ebooks, formatting them, but the ebook revolution is still young I guess bleh
I would love to get a job working with authors making their eBooks with the new Apple Author thingie, that looks amazing and will be the new generation of books. Though they also seem to be heralding the end of the traditional teacher.
Anyhoo, good find π
Cheers
