I'm enjoying the current BBC Money Programme series on the media, and thought the Janet Street-Porter show on the challenges facing newspapers was excellent - and not just because it had lots of nice footage of the presses at Broxbourne hammering away.

Having caught up with the Libby Potter- fronted episode about book publishing over the weekend, I was a bit baffled about the absence of any reference to the dramatically changing face of print production, or indeed to e-books. Surely the ability to print one copy, or a handful of copies, economically has introduced a whole new dynamic to the publisher's previous business model? We saw one small independent publisher talking about printing 2,000 books and anxiously hoping they'd be able to sell them all... yet no mention of print-on-demand and how it removes the previous print production barriers that were based on volume. I would have liked to have heard something about the Print-on-Demand programme for books Amazon announced last October, too. How's that going, I wonder?

And having gone over old ground such as the ending of the Net Book Agreement back in 1995, how strange not to look at the likely future impact of e-readers in their many forms. It was a missed opportunity not to include some comment from the Amazon spokesman on this, as we await the launch of its Kindle reading device here in Europe. And on the topic of all things electronic, what about Google's massive book digitisation project?

In short, I could have done with a bit less of Will Self barfing on about having to have lunch with Amanda Ross, billed as "the most powerful woman in publishing" because she selects the books that feature in the Richard & Judy Book Club; and a bit more informed scrutiny of the change factors that are actually shaping the future of the book as we speak.
