Online newspapers “may be more an integrator of other people’s information.”
Predictor: Meyer, Eric
Prediction, in context:In a 1995 article in the Minneapolis Star-Tribune, reporter Steve Alexander writes about the possibility of receiving news online. He quotes Eric Meyer of Marquette University:”‘Instead of the newspaper bringing everything into one office and letting you have access from that location, you can just access the information where it is,’ said Eric Meyer, a Milwaukee electronic publishing consultant and part-time journalism instructor at Marquette University. For example, an electronic newspaper in Milwaukee might provide college sports scores from Kansas by providing a hyperlink to an electronic newspaper in Kansas, he said. Online newspapers ‘may be more an integrator of other people’s information.'”
