Jean-Marie Charon,

sociologist from the study center of social movements.

 

   

« To date, the editorial forms have not evolved  significantly »

 

 

« If one refers to the history of media one notices that no new media appears before a new and original editorial form  is found. But at the beginning there always exists a phase of mimicry. »

 

« For example, radio has copied for a long time the way the written press deals with information. When television appeared, it produced in the beginning filmed radiotelephony. A long laps of time was necessary before the new medium found its means of expression and its specific editorial form. »

 

The RU3 project is highly implicated in the growing of new kinds of publishing in relation with the research and development of new interfaces.
