Computers have changed the landscape of both gathering and disseminating information throughout the world. As journalists move quickly toward the 21st century and, perhaps, a new era of electronic journalism, they need resources to understand the newest and most successful computer-based news reporting strategies. This book is designed to show both professional journalists and students which of the newest personal computing tools are being used by the nation's leading news organizations and top individual journalists. It describes how these resources are being used on a daily basis and for special projects. The book assumes a minimal familiarity with computers, but no advanced knowledge of computer operation.
