95 Theses at IPEX

John Naughton wrote in the Observer yesterday (UK hard copy) about a new website that is live tomorrow. 95 new theses about technology.

So far it seems to be mostly about printing. Once the online is available there may be more about tech but the print aspect seems way in the past. Update needed, and I think it could be specific about Guardian Media Group.

I will be at IPEX tomorrow so will check at least some of the 95 later in the week. I hope to discover what the UK market might be like for second hand kit from Man Roland. Sorry to put it this way, the reality of UK newspapers is getting closer to a news event. At the previous IPEX I met some people from India where there is still investment in training for print and expectation that online news will not reach all the audience anytime soon. Not sure they will be at this IPEX, long way to come when the show seems much smaller.

But some info will be there, maybe just informal opinion. Blog update later.

Is there a web strategy for news organisations? How can print fit in?
