Digital publishing: Is the purpose of digital to mimic print?

Posted by Esther Kezia Harding on Jul 25, 2014 2:53:15 PM

We’re deep into the age of digital publishing. Do the needs of yesterday still stand today?

In 2012, a survey from the Pew Research Centre and The Economist found that 60% of Americans under the age of 40 preferred to read conventional print-like versions of newspapers and lifestyle magazines on their tablets rather than interactive ones.

Amazon launches unlimited e-book subscription service

Posted by Esther Kezia Harding on Jul 23, 2014 9:59:04 AM

Amazon has taken its next big step in dominating the e-book market with its release of 'Kindle Unlimited', which allows subscribers unlimited access to e-books, for $9.99 a month.

Although currently limited to the US, Amazon's new service has the potential to dramatically alter the way books are consumed. The subscription model itself is not a new one; companies like Spotify are well-known for changing the way we listen to and purchase music. More recently, ventures like Readly, a subscription-based magazine service,  have taken steps to translate this into the Digital Publishing world.

Digital publishing and wearable tech

Posted by Daisy Ware-Jarrett on Jul 17, 2014 2:38:16 PM

As computers change and adapt, it’s important to keep asking ourselves how this will affect digital publishing.

Tech is getting smaller by the year and moving closer to our skin, or rather we are pulling it closer. From human-detached desktops, to more mobile laptops/notebooks; and most recently transitioning into our pockets in the form a mobile phones - we have now reached a stage where technology is wearable and resides on the surface of our skin. The next step doesn’t bear thinking about; microchips and internal tech turning humans part-cyborg.

Review: Virgin Holidays 'Unleashed'

Posted by Esther Kezia Harding on Jul 15, 2014 9:52:33 AM

Virgin Holidays have just launched their first digital publication - 'Unleashed'. Is its sleek design and interactive content enough to make it stand out in the world of Digital Publishing?

Despite having a somewhat predictable image on the front cover, my first impression of the magazine is that I'm definitely going to come away wanting to book a holiday somewhere exotic. Both the cover and Branson's introduction to 'Unleashed' are full of challenges: 'Could you zipline above a jungle canopy?'; 'Have you got what it takes to become a sushi master?' and 'Come on, Dive in!'.
