Comment faut-il écrire pour le web ? Souvent l’enseignement se résume à des techniques d’écriture et d’édition, et à l’usage que l’on peut faire des différents médias: texte, son, vidéo, infographie, etc. Pour écrire ce post, mon point de départ a été les travaux de Maria Laura Martinez, professeur et chercheur à l’École de Communications et d’Arts de l’Université de São Paulo, au Brésil [lire, The Black Wheel: a technique to develop hypermedia narratives (pdf)] et de João Canavilhas, enseignant au Département Media et Arts de l’Université de Beira Interior, au Portugal [lire, Web Journalism: from the inverted pyramid to the tumbled pyramid (pdf)]. « Écrire pour le web » se résume souvent à quelques conseils rustiques: Style.
