Event Recap
The Atlantic Council hosted on March 8, 2021, a conversation with Penguin Random House CEO, Markus Dohle.
On the heels of a year of unprecedented disruption from the global COVID-19 pandemic, a decade of digital revolution in the publishing industry, and mere weeks following the announcement of Penguin Random House’s acquisition of Simon & Schuster, Markus Dohle stands at the helm of the world’s largest trade book publisher.
In a unique conversation, Dohle discussed Penguin Random House, the broader publishing industry, and the important role that storytelling plays in strengthening our social discourse, lifting diverse voices and experiences, and promoting democratic values around the globe.
