Activity 6.3
March 4, 2026
Instructions:
1. Research the company O'Reilly Media. What are they known for producing?
2. Working as a group, imagine that you are working for Getty
publications. A new start-up company pitches the idea of
publishing a photography-based fashion magazine.
-
Discuss whether or not this fits in with your existing stable of magazines.
-
What will you tell the company in either accepting or rejecting their pitch?
My Response:
-
Upon researching the company “O’Reilly Media”, I have found that they are known for producing technical and professional skills development courses as well as books on similar topics such as programming.
-
If I were working for “Getty Publications”, I would be interested in the pitch of a new photography-based fashion magazine. As fashion is on the rise with new aesthetics and cultures becoming incorporated in newer generations, I believe this idea fits right into Gettys current publications. Furthermore, Getty is known for exploring the world's current trends and viewing such subjects through the lens of art and culture; therefore, this specific pitch would not be an unfit magazine and start this new company on the right path.
