The new website for the journal Grey Room is a means to extend the reach and scope of the print publication by taking advantage of the unique capacities of the Internet and digital media. The website allows the journal to reach new audiences, particularly outside of North America, and moves the journal toward the increasingly open culture of academic exchange that is fostered by digital media. Selected articles from the journal are available for free download; additional, original editorial material not available in the print version is accessible free of charge; and the site hosts discussion forums and allows the journal to publish time-based media in digital formats.
