News is more than news
After some time, your definition of the notion "news" may change. Since so many
conferences are also interesting sources, they should also be a part of your news
gathering strategy. Check in regularly to read what members say about what they have
seen, done, heard, or discovered.
Professional news reporters have also discovered this. Online conferences are
popular hunting grounds for writers of the traditional press.
Many CompuServe forums have news sections. If you are into Hot News and
Rumors about Amiga Computers, read messages in section 3 of the Amiga Tech Forum.
Consumer Electronics Forum has the section "New Products/News." The Journalist
Forum has "Fast Breaking News!" The Motor Sports Forum has "Racing News/Notes."
The Online Today Forum has "In the News."
Below, we have therefore combined the traditional news providers with
conferences to provide some interesting sources sorted by part of the world:
