Abstract

Zusammenfassung The digital era’s advent has triggered transformative shifts across multiple industries, of which publishing is one. This book and especially this first chapter delves into the dynamic landscape of the publishing sector and its employment market, offering insights into prevailing trends, challenges, and opportunities present. The hastened transition towards digital publishing consequently prompts this chapter to analyse the evolution of employment profiles, technology’s impact, and the shared expectations and requirements of prospecting professionals entering this domain. The publishing industry’s adaptation to innovations triggered and enabled by digitisation, including Artificial Intelligence (AI) integration, the surge in self-publishing and the shift towards open access publishing (to give a few examples), underscores the sector’s dynamic nature and its implications for employment and skills. This overview synthesises these primary elements, setting the scene for an in-depth exploration of the publishing industry’s continuous evolution and its relevance for aspiring publishing professionals.
