Response to Stephanie's Articles

Both of these articles come from the dreaded education-portal.com, a resource which I myself am guilty of referencing, and even though the majority of information contained within is obvious and what should be common sense, there are some good points and things to keep in mind in there. I thought that the old adage, location, location, location, was plugged adequately here, in reference to how valuable the location of any selected educational institution can be in reference to any publishing firm or company in the vicinity. This makes a lot of sense. While I'm sure there are many more publishing outlets, there is also going to be a huge amount of competition for those jobs. The other information I took away was the difference between book and magazine publishing, which as it turns out, isn't really that much of a difference. The complicated thing, and one that an individual would need to decide on their own, is what discipline of publishing they wanted to try to break into. These articles aren't going to give you any easy answers to difficult questions, merely acceptable places to begin a legitimate inquiry.
