IFRA releases special report about Web 2.0

Posted by Jean Yves Chainon on December 6, 2006 at 4:27 PM
IFRA, the newspaper and media publishing association, is releasing a special edition report of its newspaper techniques magazine. The issue focuses on the novel tools and challenges encountered with Web 2.0.
The report, named “The Publisher’s How-to Guide Web 2.0,” covers many aspects useful for newspapers and publishers in a new era of interactive web design.

What’s Web 2.0? The report explores its various facets and complexities, but also provides an accessible definition: it differs from Web 1.0 “in three key ways; the public are becoming the publishers, they are defining how they see information, and they are building communities in the process.”

From basic definitions to concrete examples, passing through technical jargon such as mashups – a combination of several sources analyzed to form a new perspective – IFRA’s report can help editors, publishers, and readers (who are now equally publishers) to enter a new era of online information and distribution.

The guide covers a concrete case-study of Fox Interactive’s evolution towards Web 2.0. The guide also provides a concrete step-by-step method for publishers to develop an efficient ‘2.0’ site.

The special edition is available in ePaper and in four versions: English, German, French and Spanish (links to each version). It’s open to all users and doesn’t require registration.
