Nick Canty

I am a lecturer in the Department of Information Studies at University College London. I lecture on the MA in Publishing course and I'm currently researching how the publishing industry uses social media.

My background is in the publishing industry where I worked for almost 15 years as a commissioning editor and publisher. I worked for Pearson, Thomson Reuters and was then the Publishing Director for the academic press of a professional society. In my previous professional work I have set up and managed commercial business units and launched various commercial enterprises, from book lists to major online information services. I have been involved with a variety of media and publishing formats covering print and online services.
