From the Author
The first book on news and information in a digital world.After more than 20 years in traditional media--the Associated Press, Newsweek, and ABC News, I decided to concentrate on the newest medium.
This book provides a look at news and information in a digital world. I trace a variety of publications and their online efforts, including MSNBC, the New York Times, the Chicago Tribune, and many others. Also, I analyze the postive and negative aspects of the Internet and the World Wide Web, including the use of computers in poor neighborhoods and the developing world, pornography, hate, and privacy.
The book includes observations from some of the most influential members of the online world.
I hope you enjoy this book as much as I enjoyed writing it.
