Major changes include the development of technology which enables digital publishing, distribution and retailing; the entry of disruptive players including Amazon, Google and Apple; the introduction of hand- held digital reading platforms and devices; upheavals in the bricks and mortar retailing sector; and the rise of online and social media as important channels for promoting books. Education publishers are also affected by disruption taking place in the education sector itself, further complicating their business models and operations. To date there has been little systematic examination of the responses of Australian publishers to change and the ways in which traditional publishers are experimenting and innovating, both as defensive responses and initiating change themselves.

Beyond any- thing, beyond labels of sexuality and gender, people of the LGBTQ+ community wish to be addressed as noth- ing less than equal in the workplace, in marriage, and in every other facet of society. However, many LGBTQ+ people still consistently face discrimination throughout their everyday lives, from demeaning jokes and stereo- types to the denial of their basic human rights. Many feel the need to conceal their identities, and as a result they become hidden in plain sight. Seeing the LGBTQ+ student population at LGHS and in the world at large, we, the PAWS staff, decided to highlight the LGBTQ+ community and the struggles they face, both in realizing their own identities and in con- fronting the subsequent societal pressures.
