Cyberwatch is a group of
students enrolled in Howard
Besser's class entitled Impact of New Information
Resources. The class is a Winter Term 1996 course offered by the School of Information at
the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor.
The specific purpose of CyberWatch is to research,
observe and analyze the way the media views and portrays new technologies like the
internet. The group will be focusing on four types of media: television, magazines, newspapers and
internet sources
such as usenet groups, etc. We will compare content, availability and presentation
of each of these formats.
Outrage of the Week!
Each week, we will be selecting an outrageous incident of the media's coverage of new technologies and/or their impact on society.
