Content Marketing with Pulizzi and Rose

In this episode of #ThisOldMarketing, Joe and Robert discuss major decisions from Facebook around allowing for third-party branded content.  In addition, Medium offers "instaCMS" and goes into the software business.  Rented land?  We aren't quite sure.  Prevention drops all print ads and Mashable restructures.  Rants and raves include SheKnows Media and Audible offering podcasts.  This week's TOM Example: The General Magazine.
