Papyrus News focuses on the intersection of information and communication technologies and language and literacy development, education, culture, equity, and diversity. First launched by Mark Warschauer as an email list in 1999 and then as an intermittent blog in 2004, Papyrus News was re-launched in October 2008. Principal contributor is Mark Warschauer, with other members of the Digital Learning Lab at the University of California, Irvine, occasionally posting.
