Mr. Magazine

There was not a better way to end the ACT 5 Experience than putting three current industry leaders in front of the future industry leaders and engage the two groups in a conversation that summed up the Experience. The three current industry leaders are John Harrington, founder and publisher of The New Single Copy, Bob Sacks, president of Precision Media and Lisa Scott, executive director of the Periodical and Book Association of America.
