An information policy must apply to all information media. If there are separate policies, depending upon the medium, there will be differentiation of benefit and protection. This is hardly healthy. Information increasingly crosses media. Electronic information becomes print.
Print becomes fax or e-mail.
Fax can become electronic again. Print can become verbal. Verbal can become electronic. Information providers, users and beneficiaries of information will all press for a common set of overall policies. I believe they are applicable to any medium in which we offer our products and services.
