All that's accomplished is another citizen exercising apathy to the political process and the injustices of corporate greed in a new way. Yesterday it was the television, today it's the Internet. Another scary aspect of the so-called information superhighway is that you have to be rich or a privileged student to drive around. William McKeen, a UF journalism professor, wrote recently in the University of Florida Digest about the dangers of mainstream newspapers jumping on the Internet bandwagon. Let's be honest.
Newspapers are corporations.
That's why newspapers are 65 percent advertisements and 35 percent news. Newspapers cater to rich white people because they are most able to buy the products advertised in their pages. I don't know, honestly, but at least we can recognize what the Internet really is and what might happen if corporate America has its way. All we can do is condemn the greed and try to use the Internet, as individuals, for truly democratic ends. Brett Zeeb is a first-year UF law student.
