Simon Owens's Tech and Media - Ask me a question! (October edition)
Hey there! This is my regular Q&A feature that allows readers to ask me questions that I can answer in a future newsletter. Last month I managed to devote several newsletters to answering some really good reader questions, and so I’m excited to keep this going.

Obviously, I’m most knowledgeable on media industry stuff, but I’m also happy to field questions on other topics as well. Here’s the thread where you can ask your question : Thanks!
