Anchor Lisa Mullins gets a preview of The World’s new online book feature, World Books, from editor Bill Marx.
(This is a huge feature, what is it about?) It’s about using technology and literature culture to broaden people’s understanding of what’s happening in the news today. an example would be Kenya and the violence there lately. To learn about that election through the bloggers and writers in Kenya at the time and bring their voices, through a podcast or interactive features�to use technology to link literary culture and the news. (How will that enhance our knowledge of news items?) Because this will be coming from voices in the countries themselves, and to use that as a gateway to look at the kind of writers these writers are doing.
