Webinar: It’s Not ALL Bad, May 17, 2022

12-1 pm PDT.

Magazine publishing in Canada has undergone major shifts over the last couple of years due to the Covid-19 pandemic, but the landscape has been in flux over the last decade or so. The industry has seen many changes: evolving revenue strategies, the rise of social media, the diversification of advertising avenues, to name a few.

To address this tide of changes, the Magazine Association of BC brings you, “It’s Not ALL Bad: 10 Trends and Publishing Lessons from an Unprecedented Year,” on Tuesday, May 17, 12-1 pm PDT.

Canadian magazine industry veterans Joyce Byrne and Lisa Whittington-Hill will reflect on the biggest opportunities and challenges facing the magazine industry in Canada today. While the situation may seem dire, they want to remind you: it’s not all bad!
