Post-Media Publishing. Print-publishing and networks for electronic culture


A variety of journals and magazines are being published today, in Europe and beyond, which deal with electronic culture, art, design, club-culture, music, gender issues and internet politics. They are extremely important for articulating this new and emergent digital culture and reaching the diverse audiences and practitioners working in the field of digital media and new technologies.

The workshop will bring together editors, writers and artists from different countries and journals. It will also involve Spanish representatives and aims to present the work of these journals to an interested public, as well as facilitate a discussion and co-operation process among the different journals. Practical questions of design, digital publishing and content management, financing and distribution, of the syndication of content and the relationship between online and offline publishing, will play as important a role as the discussion of the most important current themes of cyberculture.
