In Other News...

Dear fellow bloggers,

Check out this great e-magazine:

The magazine is called "The Revolution Will Be", and takes an interesting look at the emergence and increasing popularity of digital reading and e-books. This month's issue includes such articles as: "The Loss of Haptics in a Digital World", "The Rhetoric of Death in the age of Digitization" and "Mortal Combat".

The rise of digital reading brings the issue of mainstream media's manipulation of photographs into the lime light. As more and more people are obtaining their information online, a digital world that often goes without moderation or fact-checked, the reader has to be increasingly aware of what they are reading and viewing online.

Will e-magazines and e-newspapers be a reliable news source? It's easier for online photographs to undergo many alterations, even after being published, so how does this affect our grasp of information and truth? The internet is a seemingly limitless web of information that we have to take critically.
