IT&Society
IT&Society is a web-based scholarly journal devoted to the scientific analysis of the social impact of information technology on society, with special emphasis on quantitative survey analysis.
The intended audience for this research quarterly includes the community of scholars interested in the social impact of new technologies, as well as policy makers, media analysts, computer professionals and interested members of the general public.
Issues are made available free online, with the expectation that readers will contribute to the journal by offering constructive commentary, volunteering services, bringing the journal to the attention of those who don’t know about it, making suggestions for improving research and increasing the volume of useful dialogue about the role of information technology on society.

Andernieuws.net 2003: The Media Pool & News Portal Model
The Media Pool & News Portal Model
updated, July 7, 2003
The Media Pool & News Portal Model is an internet based model of news gathering and exhange which is meant to facilitate a special media effort for an event or campaign. The first (very limited) experiment with this model was the ‘Joburg Media’ web site, joburgmedia.net. Joburg Media provided a platform for information-exchange about the 2002 UN Johannesburg Summit on sustainable development and has now become an archive. (A report in Dutch is available).
The platform only uses ‘E-media’, such as web sites, mailing lists, newsgroups and Internet radio. These channels are already capable of transportation of text, pictures and audio material and high quality video will follow soon. This makes it possible to keep the cost low for both the initiators and everyone using the platform.
Of course the material can still be used by non-internet based media, like newspapers or radio stations.
This platform is especially useful when concers arise that an event or campaign may not get a fair share of media exposure, due to the complexity of the subject or because the subject does not appeal to the mass media. Examples are UN conferences, anti-war campaigns, aid campaigns, etc. In most cases the platform will be a temporary project, but the web site can remain as a permanent archive on the subject.

Omega-News - Possible Deleterious Effects of Physiologically Significant Radiation Pressure Exposures: Portable communication devices that have become globally utilized during the past decade are principally electromagnetic field emitters: that is, photon emitters. Although commonly neglected for consideration, due to its inconsequential magnitude for most circumstances, the radiation pressure associated with some of these portable communication devices provides forces on the order of magnitude of piconewtons, which is identically the magnitude of force that has been demonstrated to deform and initiate dissociation (melting) of the DNA molecule. No similar comparison of radiation pressure experienced from our sun may be made due to the spectral content of solar radiation which reaches a maximum in the visible light region of the electromagnetic spectrum and diminishes rapidly with increasing wavelength. However, portable hand-held radiating devices, virtually unknown prior to the 1990s, motivate us to make a calculated scrutiny of a force, radiation pressure, previously held to be of no consequence to life on earth.
