Will The Harry Potter Generation Read? Will They Vote?

Politico in PrintIn a world without Harry Potter, can the web bring young readers back into bookland? 

According to Portfolio.com's Mixed Media blog, publisher Nan Talese wants to build a better book review site--a bit of literary intelligence picked up at a cocktail party, even. Check it out:

"At the Lapham's Quarterly party last night, Talese, a senior vice president at Doubleday and the publisher/editorial director of her own imprint there, told me she is in the early stages of starting a criticism website, The Review, aimed at youthful readers."

In other news, my journalism students at New York University just got in the news with a survey that finds out how much it costs to buy a vote from a member of the Harry Potter generation. Politico has the scoop.

As you've seen on this site, the National Book Awards have concluded. I especially enjoyed the Library Journal's coverage of the blogged festivities. Stop by and read Wilda Williams thoughts about new media at the event:

"[There was an] increased number of literary bloggers covering the event... Confessions of an Indiosyncratic Mind's Sarah Weinman offers a terrific overview of the activity upstairs: "I was amazed at the content generated up in the press box, from print journalists scrambling to meet near-impossible deadlines to bloggers mixing mini-podcasts and videos on the fly....Content wins out, no matter what."
