This issue of Media International Australia is based on several of the papers presented at the Digital Literacy and Creative Innovation in a Knowledge Economy symposium held by CCI and the ARC Cultural Research Network in March 2007. Guest edited by CCI researchers Kelly McWilliam and John Hartley, along with Mark Gibson, the articles in this issue consider how the rapid development of digital technologies has changed the production and consumption of media content, altering the very nature of the relationship between 'producers' and 'consumers'.
We identify some tensions between formal education and informal learning in the uses of popular literacy since the nineteenth century, in order to argue for a ‘demand-led’ model of education in digital literacy.
Whether we describe them as Gen Y, the Net Gen, the Millennials or the Yuk/Wows, today's young people have grown up in a highly technologised environment. They interact, engage and disengage with greater speed and choice than ever before. But are they equipped for a work future in which creativity has become the defining feature of economic life?
No longer the preserve of creative industries, 'creative capital' is needed everywhere, because novel thinking, navigation, interactivity, border-crossing and forging new relationships have all become crucial to success and productivity.

Download paper: Aligning curriculum, pedagogy and assessment for building creative capacity in undergraduate students
Teaching-for-creativity is "rarely an explicit objective of the learning and assessment process" (Jackson, 2006, p.4). In Europe, collaborative research projects have been recently set up to address this lack of acknowledgment or explicitness. Australian universities lag behind in this respect.

Careers in the creative sector are unusual in that they are characterised by boundarylessness, in which short term employment relationships and self-employment are common, and the responsibility for career development is placed on the individual.

This study examines the career orientations of creatives to determine whether certain motivations are linked with career management competence and success in the boundaryless career.
