A new Web Editor for Aigne

Aigne's current web editor will be leaving us after this edition so if anyone would like to learn the necessary coding, style sheets and other requirements of the Publishing Unit that Aigne must adhere to, please contact me or Niamh Nic Chonmara before this coming Monday 9th Jan.

Our web editor works directly with Peter Flynn in the Publishing Unit of UCC. The web editor, is responsible for coding docx and pdf versions of all published articles and reviews. They are also given access to UCC's uploading interface designed specifically for UCC e-journals.

It is envisioned that the person learning from our current web editor for this edition will take on full editorial duties for the next. The busiest times for the web editor is the very end of the review process, just before publication.

More information on our editorial meeting and the beginning of the review process will follow in shortly.

Digital Journalism - a view from

This post from is from The Guardian Online by Editor Alan Rusbridger. He is speaking on Digital Journalism. He speaks about the Guardian's position which is that the newspaper is committed to a 'free at the point of desktop' model. He maintains that by having a paywall newspapers would cut themselves out of the conversations being had by writers, scientists, artists and readers worldwide...a way forward may be mutualisation where journalists and readers together produce something better than either on their own. More here.
