Title: Net News - Old Wine in a New Bottle?

Abstract: News items may not be used extensively by undergraduate instructors as a source of assigned materials because of the cost incurred by the instructor in their procurement. The Internet provides a much less expensive and wider pool of current resources for the instructor to draw upon. The authors reviews traditional paper and modern electronic newsclip production methods.
