In addition to collaborating with Dan Poynter on the book titled U-Publish.com,
Harvard graduate Danny O. Snow has been widely quoted about new publishing and
communication technologies by many major print and broadcast media,
including AP, NPR, UPI, The Los Angeles Times, The Wall Street
Journal, The Washington Times, the nationally-syndicated
"Ask Heloise" radio show, and others, too numerous to list here.
Snow is known as one of the first traditional book publishers to embrace e-Books, blogs, podcasting and POD book publishing... and now social media. In 2008, he was named a Senior Fellow of the Society for New Communications Research (Palo Alto, California, USA), a global think tank dedicated to the advanced study of new and emerging media. More recently, he was elected to the board of directors of the Independent Book Publishers Association, serving thousands of publishing firms across North America and around the world.
He has appeared as a speaker and moderator at many national publishing events such as Book Expo America, IBPA's "Publishing University" and the North American Publishing Company's "PrintMedia" expos.
As a journalist, Snow has served as a contributing editor for BookTech: The Magazine for Publishers and written scores of articles for a variety of print and electronic media. He is also a popular source of commentary for fellow journalists. A few examples appear below.
