TriQuarterly: What Can an Online Academic Literary Journal Be?
Reginald Gibbons
Harlan Wallach
Northwestern University’s historic literary journal TriQuarterly will publish its next issue in January 2014 into a new and revamped publishing platform. In June 2010, amidst hostile (and in some cases deliberately misleading) pre-release reactions, TriQuarterly was recreated as an online magazine. That process has completely reinvigorated the publication and directly linked the magazine to the pedagogical mission of the university. This pre-release view of the upcoming Issue #145 will present the range of new functions and designs that will be implemented in this most current incarnation of TriQuarterly. This refresh builds on what has been learned both from the first three and half years of expansion in readership and expansion of online literary content types. The technology update responds to deeper integration with social media outlets and also seeks to expose the corpus of contemporary writing present in the magazine in its 60 year history.
