The Two Solitudes Journal

The Two Solitudes Journal discusses trends in the media industry and examines the simultaneous ‘convergence and collision, co-existence and conflict’ that exists within and between the traditional and new media worlds across a variety of media including publishing, radio, cinema and television. The Journal, from time to time, features interviews and guest columnists.

 

The Two Solitudes Journal is published on a periodic basis by Alan Sawyer, media strategist, consultant and journalist.  In addition to The Two Solitudes Journal, Alan has written for Playback Magazine, Broadcast Engineering Magazine and The Toronto Star.  Read more about Alan at www.twosolitudes.com
