[the reading revolution]
On Tuesday the 3rd of July I'll be speaking along with Cally Poplak, Director of Egmont Press, Paul Duffield, Manga Artist, Sue Horner, Head of Standards and Assessment Policy, QCA, and Joshua Beasley (he will offer the views of a "young person"). We'll be discussing what reading means today, in the 21st century. Of course I'm going to talk about reading online and the need for critical literacy as well as multi-modal sensibilities.I don't know about the others, but since I'm on the panel I know it won't be a repeat of the recent very one-sided Digitise or Die session held the South Bank Center in London.

How interesting that Penguin is hosting this. I wonder how the print publishers are preparing for the changes that will continue to happen in the reading world. Will paper become a quaint little side-line to a massive e-book industry - or not.
Well Penguin does seem to be interested in new media as they backed a wiki-novel project headed by Kate Pullinger called "A Million Penuins." Although it didn't create the best content it certainly was experimental.
