Digitizing the News

I found this book incredibly interesting and much easier to read and comprehend than all the other readings. The background of the first tries at online news were especially intriguing as well as the first attempts at live streaming. It's hard to tell whether the transition to more web-based news is a good or a bad thing. I suppose it's good if a lot of people are paying attention to the news, but print is still probably a more thorough source. All of the vicarious experience chapter was incredibly entertaining and informative. Virtual Voyager seems like such an innovative idea for the time, I'm surprised I had never heard of it before.
