INTERWEAVING TECHNOLOGIES - THE AESTHETICS OF DIGITAL URBAN LIVING

/ / / THE CONFERENCE HAS BEEN CANCELLED DUE TO THE TRANSPORT PROBLEMS FOLLOWING THE VOLCANIC ERUPTIONS IN ICELAND / / /

New report: E-publication

E-publiceringNew products for digital media platforms – which and how? iPhone, Twitter, Web-flow, E-magazines, Urban Screens, Live text. [Klik her for dansk version]

While the printed newspaper still is the primary revenue source, the big media organizations must develop and publish new products for digital platforms. These platforms will in the early 2010s supplement print, and then gradually to a large extent take over the printed papers' market position and place in society. Most journalists and media professionals agree on this view, the big questions are just: Which products? How should they be produced? What's the business model?

The research project "New digital stories on web and mobile" has studied such issues for the period August 2009 to March 2010. As part of the national research center Digital Urban Living (DUL), a team of researchers, developers and journalists from UPDATE (Danish School of Media and Journalism) and DUL (Aarhus University) conducted a prolonged development, test and analysis project.

The first results come out in the form of an interim report, "E-publicering" (in Danish), which in seven chapters condenses the findings. The report is available as a free download (PDF) [5 MB].
