Push Pop Press acquired by Facebook Last year Push Pop Press set off to re-imagine the book. We created a new way of publishing and exploring text, images, audio, video and interactive graphics, then teamed up with Melcher Media and Al Gore to create a new kind of book. The result is Al Gore's Our Choice, which was released earlier this year. The response has been incredible. Tech columnist David Pogue of The New York Times summed it up by saying: “this is one of the most elegant, fluid, impressive apps you've ever seen. It's a showpiece for the new world of touch-screen gadgets.” Now we're taking our publishing technology and everything we've learned and are setting off to help design the world's largest book, Facebook. Although Facebook isn't planning to start publishing digital books, the ideas and technology behind Push Pop Press will be integrated with Facebook, giving people even richer ways to share their stories. With millions of people publishing to Facebook each day, we think it's going to be a great home for Push Pop Press. Al Gore's Our Choice will remain available for purchase, and we've decided that our future profits from the book will be donated to The Climate Reality Project. There are no plans to continue publishing new titles or building out our publishing platform that was in private beta. We are incredibly grateful to everyone who has supported and expressed interest in Push Pop Press. Both Push Pop Press and Facebook share a passion for improving the way we share and explore ideas and we couldn't be more excited about what the future holds.

Created as a way of reviving long-form nonfiction, The Atavist is the "Goldilocks" of e-reading: a just-right blend of digital and printed magazine.

The 1140 grid fits perfectly into a 1280 monitor. On smaller monitors it becomes fluid and adapts to the width of the browser. Beyond a certain point it uses media queries to serve up a mobile version, which essentially stacks all the columns on top of each other so the flow of information still makes sense. Scrap 1024! Design once at 1140 for 1280, and with very little extra work, it will adapt itself to work on just about any monitor, even mobile.

Mainstream media, often known simply as MSM, have not yet disappeared in a digital takeover of the media landscape. But the long-dominant MSM-television, radio, newspapers, magazines, and books-have had to respond to emergent digital media. Newspapers have interactive Web sites; television broadcasts over the Internet; books are published in both electronic and print editions. In Designing Media, Bill Moggridge examines connections and conflicts between old and new media, describing how the MSM have changed and how new patterns of media consumption are emerging.

« L’époque où un titre de presse en ligne était abordé comme déclinaison d’un équivalent papier est révolue. Parmi les enjeux les plus fondamentaux qui se font jour à travers les pratiques de l’information en ligne, les usages et donc les démarches de design. Qu’il s’agisse d’innover en proposant de nouveaux traitements de l’information, avec le rich-media, ou d’en hybrider les formes avec l’héritage typographique des journaux, les dispositifs interactifs renouvellent les pratiques de l’information en profondeur. Par ailleurs, ces publications électroniques se caractérisent par un héritage médiatique et esthétique complexe. Il semble ainsi judicieux d’envisager la presse en ligne dans une perspective évolutionniste et de montrer comment opèrent les nouveaux scénarios imaginés conjointement par les journalistes, les designers et les développeurs. »
