Peter Osnos, who founded PublicAffairs nine years ago, is
stepping down as publisher of the Perseus Group division once a
successor is found and will become editor-at-large and pursue his
interests in journalism and human rights. Publishers Lunch
reported that "as 'the act of selling books becomes more complicated
and more expensive' through traditional retail channels, Osnos is
animated about spending time to 'create the template' for a 'way to
make books more available outside of traditional retail channels,'
harnessing new technologies and other techniques."
