8. A Word about Content Management
Pathos – the experience of a virtuous
struggle and suffering that leads
to success
“Anyone who has slogged through the
organizational tangle of managing
workflow for a content-heavy website
is familiar with the feeling of pathos.”
edesign, May/June 2002
Paul Biedrzycki and Rich Hoxsey
