The Web and Net as a new medium
for communication is spreading
to new contexts.
In "Beyond the Press Release: the Web as a
Campaign Tool,"
CMC Magazine Chief Correspondent
Chris Lapham
reports on the role the Web played in Senator Edward Kennedy's
campaign as well as
in ongoing communication with his constituents.
Stephen Ward looks at the role
of the Internet in the Business Community.
and David Strom describes how the Net can be used in
journalism.
A chapter from
Michael Strangelove's new book,
How to Advertise on the Internet
examines the shift in
publishing paradigms.
Wendy Pepping also
describes
how the Net transforms
electronic publishing.
This issue includes a new item--a review of a CMC-related
communications forum:
Mick Doherty's
review of Megabyte University (MBU-L)--Computers
and Writing list.
Also, there are some new items for the "From the Nets" department:
a tour in search of trivia and TV,
a more informal road trip,
and a short waves notebook.
