Global Student News WWW site

IMPORTANT NOTE: Because of a number of technological and organizational problems here at UF, I've had to put the GSN project on hold. If you like what you see in these documents and would like to help, please email at my new address, garyz@grove.circa.ufl.edu, and I'll give you the full details. -- Thanks! Gary Ritzenthaler

The Global Student News WWW site is devoted to the idea of content sharing among student news publications, using the various technologies of the Internet as the distribution medium. The GSN project aims to provide a new forum for student work in all the news media, a new source of content for online student publications, and a new tool for educators involved in media education.

Want a better description? Here is an introduction to the GSN that appeared in the October 1994 Computer-Mediated Communication Magazine. A GSN-at-a-glance file is also available.
