• Una Mujer de Ideas Claras

Pero existen otras razones para que la empresa (una división de News Corp.) invierta en facilitar la distribución de contenidos por internet: "En EU, el 21% de las ventas de libros se hace por internet", una tendencia que, en su opinión, no hará más que crecer. Según Strategic Research Corporation, una firma de investigación de mercados, más del 63% de los 78 millones de hogares en EU están conectados a la red. Entre el segmento de población catalogado como de "jóvenes adultos", el 96% está conectado a alguna de las redes sociales virtuales que abundan en la web. Se trata, dice [Jane Friedman], "de personas con un alto nivel de educación y poder adquisitivo", un mercado más que interesante. Este es uno de nuestros puntos fuertes", dice Friedman. "Esta filosofía, y no el tamaño de la co...

Fewer catalogs Paper catalogs, mailed at least twice a year to thousands of stores and libraries , may be on their way out. HarperCollins said last week it plans to make its listings of upcoming releases available only online, calling the current system economically and environmentally indefensible. President Jane Friedman said the switch would likely begin by summer 2009. HarperCollins says about 100,000 catalogs are sent for each season: summer, winter and fall. Other major publishers are moving likewise.

• 'Purpose' a Marketing Miracle

Unabashedly religious, Rick Warren's "The Purpose-Driven Life" is being read and studied by millions of people in and out of churches across the country. Readers are buying extra copies at churches and in bookstores and passing them along to friends. As a crossover best seller, flying off the shelves in both the Christian and mainstream markets, it is a modern marketing miracle. The 334-page book has been on or near the top of national best-seller lists -- the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, USA Today -- since early January 2003. Jane Friedman, CEO of HarperCollins, whose Zondervan division published the book, says it sold 11.3 million copies in 2003. That makes it one of the best-selling books in publishing history, in the same league with the latest in the Harry Potter series...

• Other Countries Are Doing Education Better

I would like to adopt Thomas L. Friedman as family guru, because Jane and I, like all grandparents, want our grandchildren to do well in a rapidly changing world. Fortunately, Friedman has made his "guru-ship" universally available by writing well-researched books that are easy to read and hard to misunderstand. In addition, he writes a weekly column in the New York Times and makes frequent radio and TV appearances. As a further caution, I have made sure some of our grandkids have his latest book.
