Abstract:
In my essay I tried to show the main structure of the Hungarian online literary reviews, magazines and the most important literary blogs. First of all, I counted the problems of making online forms out of paper books, like the complex method of the book digitalization, difficulty of the use of character recognizer softwares etc. There are three types of online literary reviews: websites including only a glint of the printed version; sites belonging to printed reviews with some actual online content; and the last in the queue: online magazines, journals, blogs without any paper form. I wrote about the quandary about registered or free users, interactive pages, intermedia contents (moving pictures and sound in the hypertext flow), and differences between .pdf and .html extension files. Online publication needs new genres, new text-types. Longer narratives or essays are no longer readable in the world of Internet, because the methods of reading went thorough changes in the era of new media realization. Internet needs short, mostly actual news and reports, short stories, briefer narratives and poems. The most popular literary sites (like litera.hu or dokk.hu) know that the readers like to see their own writings next to the ’professional writers’. Of course, there are a lot of other questions coming up and around online publishing – and my work only wants to be a little review over this day by day renewing scene.
