Does on-line publication demand a different kind of writing?
The Internet - a blessing or a curse for education?
Do on-line resources help or hinder our students - and the authors of the future?
The
publishing industry has lived in fear of the digital future for a
decade - so why are we still waiting for the downloadable bestseller?
How should poetry by podcast differ from poetry on the page?
In an age of information overload and wiki-reality, is the concept of truth becoming degraded?
