It occurred to me when reading the diaries of former-FT editor Lionel Barber that perhaps my work on digital scholarship is effectively just arguing for the academic equivalent of what he calls here digital-first journalism:
In 2013, we will shift to ‘digital first’ journalism. In practice, this means that the newspaper will be derived from our online content – not the other way round. We need a change of mindset as well as a change in workflow.
