Choose a headline:(a) Christie Storm is a misinformed journalist who misinforms her readers.(b) Newspaper's religion editor provides publicity for evil Author Solutions.

"Print-on-demand or 'indie' publishing . . ."

"Print-on-demand or self-published books . . ."

(from an article by Christie Storm, Religion Editor of the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette, in Arkansas Online.)

Hey, Christie:

1. POD is not the same thing as either indie publishing or self-publishing.
2. Indie publishing existed long before POD, and POD is used by many kinds of publishers, not just indie publishers.
3. Self-publishing existed long before POD, and POD is used by many kinds of publishers, not just self-publishers.
4. If you want to be taken seriously as a journalist, stop using press releases from  Author Solutions as a source of information about the book business. Don't help the company to spread self-serving misinformation. Its agenda should not be a newspaper's agenda.
5. If you want to be taken seriously as a journalist, change your name. "Christie Storm" sounds like a stripper or a porn star -- not a religion editor or a winner of the Pulitzer prize.
6. Tell your boss to hire a fact-checker.
