The Art, Craft and Business of Writing – New Opportunities, New Challenges, Continuing Responsibilities

 

Long before the First Amendment was written, the printed word was a source of information, influence and entertainment. The electronic age has democratized publishing, bastardized the language, and enabled opportunists, both good and bad.
