Erik Engstrom Named New CEO of Reed Elsevier

From the Story:

Former Random House executive Erik Engstrom has been appointed CEO of Reed Elsevier, succeeding Ian Smith who had been in the position for about eight months. Engstrom had been head of Reed’s Elsevier scientific publishing operation. The departure of Smith was by “mutual agreement,” the company said. Reed chairman Anthony Habgood thanked Smith for his service “during unprecedented turbulent economic times.”

Included in the Reed Elsevier portfolio of properties are:

+ Publisher's Weekly (PW)
+ Library Journal (LJ)
+ School Library Journal (SLJ)

In an update on business for the first nine months of 2009, Reed said RBI “continues to face difficult trading conditions particularly in advertising markets.” The update added that the sale of controlled circulation magazines in the U.S. and certain other titles (including PW, LJ, SLJ) “is in progress to reposition the portfolio.”

Click to view the article The fallacy of information overload
Wednesday, 23rd May 2012

A lot of the talk around social media in the last year has been around information overload. Social media has provided us with new and exciting ways to create content. But it has also meant learning new ways to manage and engage with social media tools. Are we teetering on the edge of an information overload precipice?

Information overload is a figment of your imagination. Or a failure of your filter. Or a symptom of your technological submissiveness. Depends on who you ask.
