On the Evolution of Content

On the Evolution of Content Review



Originally co-written for The New Communications Review, a peer-reviewed journal of The Society for New Communications Research (SNCR.org) in 2007 by Danny O. Snow and J. Dawn Snow, this visionary inquiry into the future of the written word anticipated the e-publishing boom that followed just a few years later.

It also raised compelling new questions about fundamental changes in the ways that readers will read, and writers will write, in the new millennium. The impact of e-Publishing is not limited to making it easy to publish in print or online; it is also subtly changing the basic expectations of readers, and communication traits of writers.
