How the Web Was Won

Our News and New Media class at Medill (perhaps better known on this list
as Leah Gentry's alma mater) spent Election Night watching live Web
coverage and producing a live report on it that was posted late Tuesday
night.

They wrote some stories and columns, provided a bunch of screen shots and
kept diaries on a handful of the larger sites. It's a mix of insightful
comment, bizzare observation and, well, just a wide range of stuff from a
class of mostly college seniors who wanted to learn about new media before
leaving journalism school. They range from HTML jockeys to
never-seen-the-Web before this class.

And I know they'd love to hear from the folks on this list if anyone's
inclined to respond (private mail to me would be great).

It's at http://www.medill.nwu.edu/people/election96

Thanks.
