Many students can “surf” the Internet, but few know how to use the Internet for deadline news reporting. A Journalist's Guide to the Internet is a practical, hands-on text that offers students strategies to think about the Internet from a journalistic perspective and tactics that may help them when under tight deadlines. Students will find an up-close look at the different elements of the Internet and how they can be used as tools for journalists: electronic mail, mailing lists, news groups, and the World Wide Web. This text describes not only how to find information on the Internet but also how to evaluate the credibility and newsworthiness of the information found.
