Welcome to The Addition, where I cover the crossover between media tech and culture. Apologies for the late hour at which this newsletter reaches you. I've been at the Publisher Newsletter Awards.

With that in mind, I thought I’d take a look at my predictions from the start of the year to see how I’m doing, and ponder what may happen in the the final three months of the year.
