Archive-name: journalism-net-resources Version: 2.6 Last-modifed: 93/11/04 (This document has been brought to you in part by CRAM. See the bottom for more information, including instructions on how to obtain updates.) === The Journalism List, Version 2.6 September 20, 1993 Prepared by John S. Makulowich (verbwork@access.digex.net) (c) 1993 John S. Makulowich The Writers Alliance, Inc. 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.
