Even worse, as hundreds magazines and book publishers dwindled ...PEARSON bought them all up. Pearson owns now almost 40% of every publisher outlet! Every book publisher you might think is NOT pearson, is actually pearson. Addison–Wesley, Peachpit, Prentice Hall, eCollege, Longman, Scott Foresman , HarperCollins , Macmillan Library Reference, Frommer's, J.K. Lasser, Harcourt, etc. THEY OWN ALL THE DYING MEDIA, almost all of it. They now own the digital publishing world too!
