This book has received and incorporated feedback from formal peer reviewers, open reviewers, and real students and faculty who tested the book in their classrooms. But even after our crowdsourced reviews, the text will never be a "finished" product. We will continue to provide updates and additions in response to user feedback and changes in the industry.
Rebus Community, a nonprofit building a new, collaborative model for open textbook publishing, provided extensive project support and helped us to find the many collaborators who contributed to the book's development.
The book is free to students and faculty in multiple formats (Web/mobile, EPUB, PDF) at https://press.rebus.community/media-innovation-and-entrepreneurship/. In addition, educators may remix and build upon this text.
