News Corporation has just launched The Daily, a digital only newspaper. Please read the article from the New York Times.
While as the article points out this particular version of a digital-only newspaper may not succeed, it is apparent that it is the beginning of a significant shift in publishing. So as an educator this brings a couple of questions to the forefront for me.
By the time our students graduate college how much of their writing will be for the screen instead of the page?
Are we teaching our students the skills necessary to compete in this environment?
How young should we be teaching digital writing?
While I'm not sure The Daily will be successful in this iteration, I am sure something similar will be in the near future. Will our students be prepared?
