Abstract:

[Abstract]  Influenced by the "Internet+”wave, the publishing industry is witnessing changes, and traditional
publishing professionals can no longer sustain the development of the industry. This paper comprehensively
analyzes the changes in the publishing industry, and argues that the future of the industry lies in the "piaoyou
(amateur performer) economy", which, with the fundamental purposes of knowledge production and cultural
inheritance, enables editors, authors and readers to collaboratively read and innovate in the transmission
and feedback of information; also, the "piaoyou economy" has a great influence on the training of publishing
professionals. Publishing education should be in line with the development of the publishing industry and adopt the
"Publishing+" philosophy of education instead of "+Publishing".Taking the responsibility of cultural inheritance,
publishing education should also be dedicated to improving students' career planning, theoretical knowledge,
innovation, management skills and editing skills through the innovation in curriculum, pedagogy and vocational
training, thereby satisfying the publishing industry' s demand for professionals in the"piaoyou economy".
