Byte the power

By Abby Schwimmer and Ab Schwimmer · Sunday, Sept. 30,2007 10:37 p.m.

"Computers are a fad.” This is and always has been the mantra of one of my esteemed professors.

Subsidized journalism

By Brian J. McFillen · Sunday, Sept. 30,2007 10:36 p.m.

The latest edition of the Columbia Journalism Review contains a feature by Bree Nordenson calling for news outlets to be government-subsidized. See, newsgathering is expensive, and the Internet is reducing newspapers’ revenues – because it increases competition between papers, making it hard to charge subscription fees; and because Web sites like Craigslist siphon off advertising. Thus, rather than adapt our business models to this growing trend, why not get the government to pony up some cash? It works for farmers, defense industries and Amtrak, right? And PBS and NPR are never pressured by the government, are they?

You and Paris

By Stefania Marghitu · Sunday, Sept. 30,2007 10:34 p.m.

Paris Hilton isn’t exactly a good role model. She’s not the sharpest tool in the shed, and she’s had her fair share of troubles. But then again, who hasn’t messed up before? Who hasn’t gone out to a party and done something stupid? The only difference is Paris’ every move is being followed. If we don’t like a picture of ourselves, we can just untag it on Facebook, while she has to face seeing unflattering photos of herself plastered across the cover of most every magazine in the nation. Now, this column isn’t about defending Paris Hilton against the evils of the media. It’s about how she has never let her mishaps get the best of her.

Over the past few years, the phenomenon of social networking sites – MySpace, Facebook and the like – has exploded.
