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.

Usenet ------ This FAQ is posted every 21 days to the groups alt.journalism alt.politics.media alt.news-media alt.answers news.answers === 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 . 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.
