ICON6 Video: The Future of Publishing Part 3
Over the past couple of days I’ve posted Part 1 and Part 2 of the opening keynote address from the ICON6 Illustration Conference, called The Future of Publishing, which brought together Wyatt Mitchell (Creative Director, WIRED), Kelly Doe (Art Director, The New York Times), Jim Heimann (Executive Editor, Taschen America), Jeremy Clark (Senior Experience Design Manager, Adobe), and Roger Black (Principal, Roger Black Studios).
Today I’d like to share Part 3 of the presentation, where Kelly Doe discusses the ways that The New York Times is “thinking about the future”, and what that might mean for Illustrators and other creative professionals.

Special thanks to the following sponsors for helping to make EFII’s coverage of ICON6 possible:
The kind of applications they are talking about will be intensely expensive to produce because of all of the content… this may be a real boon for artists. The publishers won’t save any money because they’ll be taking funds they investing in publishing and distribution and spent that instead on more and better art, animation and multiple design applications. This could actually right the imbalance that we’ve seen between art and publishing for half a century.

shoot me now
Blah blah blah blah. A lot of words missing any significant point.
The end of this presentation was followed by a question from the audience that I wish was included on the end of this. The question was about a paid online subscription and they asked “Why would someone start paying for something they were already getting for free?” Basically if NY Times starts charging for a subscription, what they were projecting would happen, and would the content be enough. Anyone take notes on that or have that clip?
