The Journalism List, Version 2.6
September 20, 1993
Prepared by
John S. Makulowich (verbwork@access.digex.net)
(c) 1993 John S. Makulowich

Gaithersburg MD 20878-2346 USA
This document identifies and describes briefly a number of resources
targeted to the journalism community. The resources include newsgroups,
mailing lists/discussion groups, and information accessible via
wais/swais, anonymous ftp, telnet, gopher, and www. I included sites which
cater to journalists, for example, NASA's SpaceLink, where you can ftp
press kits.
The current version of The Journalism List is available via database
searching in the CARR-L notebook archives and via gopher through the
Clearinghouse for Subject-Oriented Internet Resource Guides at the
University of Michigan. Point your gopher to una.hh.lib.umich.edu. The
path is inetdirs/Journalism; J. Makulowich... . Corrections, additions,
recommendations and questions are welcome. (Special thanks to Elliott
Parker for his help in distributing this list.) Please do not cross-post
to the carr-l and journet discussion groups or the nit mailing list.
[Note: Here is information on how to subscribe to mailing lists and
discussion groups. For discussion groups using revised listserv (Eric
Thomas, 1.7f), send e-mail to listserv@domain and in the text, type sub

CRAM: the Cyberspatial Reality Advancement Movement
In an effort to bring valuable information to the masses, and
as a service to motivated information compilers, I
(L. Detweiler) will help others unfamiliar with Usenet
`publish' their documents for widespread dissemination via the
FAQ structure, and act as a `sponsor' knowledgable in the
submissions process. This document is being distributed under
this arrangement.
I have found these compilations tend to appear on various
mailing lists and are valuable enough to deserve wider
distribution. If you know of an existing compilation of
Internet information that is not currently a FAQ, please
contact me and I may `sponsor' it. The benefits to the author
include:
- use of the existing FAQ infrastructure for distribution:
- automated mail server service
- FTP archival
- automated posting
- a far wider audience that can improve the quality, accuracy,
and coverage of the document enormously through email
feedback
- potential professional inquiries for the use of your
document in other settings, such as newsletters, books,
etc.
- with me as your sponsor, I will also take care of the
technicalities in the proper format of the posted version
and updating procedures, leaving you free of the `overhead'
to focus on the basic updates alone
Send comments relating to the *distribution* of this document
(particularly relevant newsgroups not currently covered in
its current distribution) or inquiries on other documents to
<ld231782@longs.lance.colostate.edu>.
The choice of who I `sponsor' is entirely arbitrary. You always
have the option of handling the submission process yourself.
See the FAQ submission guidlines FAQ in news.answers.
