I suppose writing about the problems with the traditional publishing industry isn't that far from what I've been writing about: The digital disruption and how it is making it difficult for the public to get good information. I have been disheartened by what I've seen lately in trad publishing.

At heart, this is an indictment of the traditional publishing establishment. Literary agents are just doing their jobs. terikanefield.com/traditional-...

My team's work is this article on #AI in the @nytimes.com this morning: “Disinformation actors are, by definition, early adopters — they will use every technique and every technology they can,” said Tim Chambers, who runs the digital and social media arm of Dewey Square Group..." (1 of N)

That was probably a lot of mumbo-jumbo for nothing. I could have just said: I put the text of my Madison Wisconsin talk, "The Power of Lies: Are We Creating Our Own Noise" at the top of my new "Things I've been Thinking About" page. It's here: terikanefield.com/things-ive-b...

I updated my "Things I've Been Thinking About" page with the new piece, "The Power of Lies: Are We Creating Our Own Noise" terikanefield.com/things-ive-b... For now I put the new piece at the top, but later I'll put it where it goes conceptually. Why am I doing it this way? 1/

Hi, Everyone, Last week, I gave two talks in Madison, Wi. Here is what I had to say: terikanefield.com/the-power-of... It was my first time in Wisconsin. The weather was perfect, the lakes were beautiful, and the Verona Public Library is an amazing building.

Here is what I like. Instead of saying "Buy her book" they are giving away free copies of my book. The first 20 people who show up get a free copy. That's because this is a library and libraries are totally 100% awesome.

Any Madison, Wisconsin peeps? I'll be speaking tomorrow at two public libraries, the Verona Library at 10:00 am and the Meadowridge Library at 2:00. I've never been here before. What a lovely place. And the people are definitely nice. www.madisonpubliclibrary.org/spaces/event...

I enjoyed Teri’s writing here, a book chapter from her: terikanefield.com/1-demagogues... I’ll add one more reference read: See Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi’s nice writeup of Good & Evil in the last chapter of his book, “Finding Flow”, called “Love of Fate”. #AwarenessMatters

If you’re looking for calm, clear, & thoughtful, in the midst of the noise, read Teri’s page.

I guess there's some sporting event going on.

Teri Kanefield posts require reading. What a concept? Always come away feeling like the 💡💡are getting turned on. PS: Librarians are the best. They are the center of a community and librarians will help you find a book, even if it's a book they don't like. It's more than a job. It's a calling.

Hi everyone, I have a weekend blog post ready. I was asked to speak to a group of librarians this week. Here is a text of the discussion about how to best deal with would-be censors and how we came to this moment. terikanefield.com/libraries-un...
