XML Press author Rahel Anne Bailie has just published an essay, An Uneven History of Content Strategy, which traces the field content strategy starting from decades before anyone used the term “Content Strategy.” Her essay highlights the people and ideas that have coalesced into what we now call content strategy.
You will find references to most of the important books and articles in the field along with Rahel’s unique perspective. Definitely worth a close read.
In her review, Redish calls his book “… a short book full of practical advice.” See the full review here, courtesy of the Society for Technical Communication.
