Synapse: Think the Web

Continuing from last week, Shenk, Katz and Biggs take us beyond the
eulogizing of Princess Di to address the media's role in and coverage
of her death, examining the press coverage and its implications for
the culture industry and the journalism profession. Katz says the
coverage is out of proportion with her legacy and Biggs says it raises
a big question for media types: morality vs. saleability. Are personal
privacy and safety important factors in our conception of what is news?

Dream Jobs: Work the Web

Tuesday in Dream Jobs, it's that old Web rags-to-riches tale. Young
webmasters toil long into the night for no pay. The sheer joy of the
task driving them onward. Finally, a pile of corporate cash greets
them at the end of the tunnel. Such is the case for Student.net. With
a nice chunk of change from US West, the college-geared content site
is seeking a designer to put their design on par with their bank
account.

Dream Jobs is made possible by Dockers(R) Khakis.
