Scope and content
Paper on 'The Virtual Guardian' by Bill Thompson, head of the New Media Lab, sent to the Guardian's Electronic Publishing Steering Group for comment.
The paper was written by Thompson to start a discussion on the future strategy of the Guardian's online presence. Subjects covered by the paper include: the current online publishing environment; whether to put the whole printed edition of the Guardian newspaper online; using the internet to extend the coverage of the newspaper; whether to create one Guardian website rather than creating connected but separately managed project sites; subscription access to online newspapers; future resources and what roles should be responsible for producing and publishing Guardian content online.
