Here's an opportunity to get your museum involved in electronic publishing. Note that the Smithsonian is involved in this. Robbin Murphy NYU/Museum Studies [log in to unmask] -----------------FORWARDED MESSAGE---------------------------------- The Virtual Newsroom (an experiment in Net publishing) is back for MacWorld D.C. May 10 - 12. Submit anything you'd like to see published (text, photos, graphics) to [log in to unmask] or [log in to unmask] Or, post to any usenet group in wide circulation, including the words 'Virtual Newsroom' in the text. Neil Chase and Chris Gulker will edit, assemble into pages, publish 'The Virtual Reporter' on the Internet and on an online service or two in Adobe Acrobat and Farallon Replica format. Photos in JPEG (preferred) or GIF format please, graphics in any Mac-readable or parsible format (EPS, PICT, TIFF or Illustrator/Mac native format). The MacWorld theme is 'do it yourself'- personal publishing on the Internet... but don't let that stifle your imagination. Radius Inc., a maker of Mac desktop-publishing equipment, is sponsoring, and promising a small reward to those whose submissions are used (including participants in the Seybold Virtual Newsroom...). Last experiment drew surprisingly strong commentary, interviews, and reporting from all over the world. Agent programs will again participate, including Stanford's NetNews filter and Individual Inc.'s SMART agent. Presslink, Reuters, and the Smithsonian Institution will also participate. We're hoping Softlock, Inc. will return as well. Back issues by FTP at ftp.awa.com or, on Compuserve, in the Journalism, Adobe Acrobat or Farallon forum libraries.
