As I hit refresh on the BBC Dorset news webpage, expecting news of scams or drug raids (Majority of Dorset news stories seem to revolve around these two topics), I was pleasantly surprised to find a story that read "A Dorset writer who published chapters of her latest book online will make it into print as the winner of YouWriteOn website's book of the year awards."
I said to myself, "So we do report good news."
A few moments later, another thought struck me. I was reading an article about a writer who published a few chapters from her book on the internet and winning a book of the year award from a website on the BBC website.
It seemed so natural and perfectly normal.
Only on pondering over the news piece did I notice that we had replaced age old traditions like paper backs or hard binds, publishers and newspapers with just a few clicks.
I am not sure if I want to let go, just yet, of the pleasure in turning each page of a gripping thriller eager to learn what's in store for the heroine. And I still want to read about what's happening in the world while gloriously sitting on my throne.
This, from a student of multi-media journalism. Isn't it ironic?
