There is a head­long stam­pede at moment for pub­lish­ers to do an app. All we hear is ‘must do an app’, ‘can we show you our app?’ Even my daugh­ter says she wants an app!

But whilst this appears to be a symp­tom of an all-consuming desire to go ‘dig­i­tal’, in most sec­tors print still has a major part to play.

There is no way that even a rich-media app can replace the “Tatler” expe­ri­ence, or really be read in the bath (or on the toi­let) with any form of dig­nity.
