Hello!

Welcome to a new edition of “On the Net Today”, the newsletter where every Friday we share a selection of useful and interesting resources to help you get the most out of the internet and make the best use of your browsing time.

Here are the topics we’ve prepared for today:

Yesterday, April 23, the world celebrated World Book and Copyright Day, as designated by UNESCO.

This is how UNESCO presents the occasion:

The goal of this celebration is to promote reading, boost the publishing industry, and defend intellectual property through copyright protection.

Every year since 2001, UNESCO has designated a city as the World Book Capital. Madrid (Spain) was the first city to hold this title. Rabat (Morocco) has just launched its year of activities as the 2026 World Book Capital. And UNESCO announced a few weeks ago that in 2027, the World Book Capital will be the Colombian city of Medellín.

Cities designated as World Book Capital by UNESCO "undertake to promote books and reading for all ages and groups, within and across national borders, and to organize a programme of activities for the year," UNESCO explains.

The feature includes numerous thematic multimedia stories featuring videos, photos, texts, and various interactive elements.

The New York Times features a section called "Word of the Day”.

The goal of this section, produced by The Learning Network — the NYT's educational service — is to help readers improve their English vocabulary with a daily word and other learning resources.

For each word, the section indicates how many times it has appeared in The New York Times over the past year, provides its definition and pronunciation, explains its usage, and invites readers to use it in a sentence.

This service, developed with the support of Vocabulary.com, is also available in Spanish.

Here are some of the recent words featured:

We're updating a couple of topics we've covered in recent editions of "On the Net Today," and adding a resource from Think with Google:

Access Now and the #KeepItOn coalition publish an annual report denouncing internet shutdowns ordered by governments and authorities around the world, particularly during conflicts, protests, wars, or humanitarian crises.

In the previous edition of "On the Net Today," we asked about the essential features of Web 2.0. The correct answer was: "Focus on active participation and user-generated content."
