inReads: Social Readia for a Changing World

inReads was created to focus on books, technology, and culture, and how these three areas intersect and influence one another.

We’ve since fined-tuned our focus to uncover:

1. Reading and writing you might not otherwise find, be it online or offline

2. DC-related information about reading and writing in the nation’s capital

3. Literary links to WETA programming

inReads still reviews traditional books in nontraditional ways; we highlight enhanced e-books and new technologies; we interview writers and artists at the forefront of innovative literary endeavors; we feature other art forms and their relationships to reading; we discuss how phenomena like Twitter are influencing us culturally. We’re also multimedia—mixing video, audio, text, and images.

inReads is a production of WETA, the Washington DC public television, media and radio entity, and the producer of such notable works as the films of Ken Burns, In Performance at the White House, Washington Week with Gwen Ifill, and National Journal.

Our dedicated inReads staff and many contributors will help the conversation along, but we hope inReaders will really steer it. Contact us with your feedback or to find out more.
