In other news from around the Internet this week, our old friend T.K. Arnold has written a great piece over at Media Play News featuring home entertainment leaders offering their perspective on the state of the industry in 2020, along with a look ahead at what’s to come in 2021. It’s called 2021: What Now? and it’s well worth a read. It adds nice perspective to my own Welcome to the New World piece here on The Bits from back on 2/21.
And here at the site today, it’s come to our attention that some of you are having difficulty with our RSS feed on The Bits (for the daily My Two Cents news column you’re reading now). A number of readers have been using this link: https://thedigitalbits.com/columns/my-two-cents/feed. That wasn’t working, but we’ve established a redirect to the correct URL for the feed, which is: https://thedigitalbits.com/columns/my-two-cents?format=feed. So now it should be working for everyone.
All right, here’s a look at the cover artwork a trio of upcoming titles we’ve mentioned in recent weeks, with Amazon.com pre-order links (juct click on the covers)...
And that’s all for today. Stay tuned!
