Guidelines for Writing Children's Internet Policies. Cetto, Ana Maria. FID News Bulletin. Journal of the Amcan Soty for Information Science. News is information about recent events of general interest, especially as currently reported by newspapers, periodicals, radio, or television.
News is the quintessential multimedia data.
The goal of electronic news delivery within this context is, however, distinguishable from both news groups and document retrieval. Electronic news promises to deliver to the reader an edited collage of recent events from wide domains in a manner that is both comprehensive and personalized. As part of a long-term research project into the design of future news delivery systems, we have developed an overall architecture and several prototypes. These prototypes are presented in the article, along with a discussion of issues related to the presentation metaphor and to the functionality of electronic news delivery services. A prototype was demonstrated at the 1995 G-7 Economic Summit in Halifax, Canada, integrating newspaper text and photographs with television news video clips across an ATM network.
