Two years ago, there were only a few newspapers and magazines operating online services. Today there are more than 40 newspapers and numerous magazines with electronic "editions". Many more -- perhaps most -- publishers today are taking a serious look at opportunities for going digital.
ONLINE-NEWS will cover the various avenues publishers have taken on this journey, from the commercial services -- America Online, CompuServe, Delphi and Prodigy -- to independent BBSs, to the Internet.
This is the place to discuss what works and what doesn't, how to integrate these services into the newsroom, how to train and recruit staff for these new ventures, advertising issues, software, potential readership, how to make money with electronic editions, job postings, etc.
WHAT THIS LIST IS NOT:
ONLINE-NEWS is not a general journalism discussion list. Its subject matter is limited to electronic publications. If you are looking for a more general journalism forum, try CARR-L (Computer Assisted Reporting and Research, carr-l@ulkyvm.louisville.edu); Journet (journet@qucdn.queensu.ca); NIT (New Information Technologies, nit@chron.com); or Journal-Net (International Journalist Network, journal-net@planet.org). Also, alt.journalism on Usenet is a good general interest journalism newsgroup.
WHO SHOULD SUBSCRIBE:
While the topic of this list will primarily interest print journalists and news executives involved in online services of their publications, we welcome participation from all journalists, educators and students interested in this exciting field.
This list does not offer automated subscriptions. If you ask, we'll sign you up, but we would like to know a little about you. You'll receive notification that you are on the list as quickly as humanly possible.
THANKS TO CYBERSPACE DEVELOPMENT!
