RYAN JOHNSON | ‘PLATFORM’ IS BEING WEIGHED AND FOUND WANTING FOR CHRISTIANITY TODAY

January 11, 2023   

Love this new illo by #lcmartist Ryan Johnson for Christianity Today for an article about the publishing industry and how social media notoriety has become a toxic barometer for the potential success for a book, which has lead to good writing and new thinkers being overlooked. The article is called “In Christian Publishing, ‘Platform’ Is Being Weighed and Found Wanting: Favoring big-name authors and “influencers” might be good for the bottom line, but not always for the books—and readers—themselves.”
