INside ONline

by Laurie Drukier

A co-worker arrives breathless at your
desk. “Did you hear about the rescue?”
she gasps. Or plane crash, new planet or
miracle drug. Most people don’t have a
TV at work, wouldn’t know who to call
and don’t want to wait for the newspaper.
If you think the Internet might be the
source to search for fast-breaking news,
you're right. But before you abandon
your regular media forever, remember
that news is only as reliable as the source.
Here are some of my regular sites for
calming that breathless feeling.

GLOBEnet

http://www. globeandmail.ca/

If your daily commute is too brief to
let you read through an entire newspaper,
you can still get your daily dose of
Canadian news and opinions in the online
edition of the Globe and Mail. Even
scanning through the blurbs on the front
page will keep you up to date. This site
has gone through a couple of
transformations since its launch, and has
gotten better each time. I get my daily
dose of trivia from Social Studies.

CNN Interactive
http://cnn.com/

A simple layout and the handy menu
bar at the side (without frames!) let you
surf quickly to your area of interest.
Frequent updates mean this site almost
always has the hottest international,
American and entertainment news. This is
where J start when the craving for
immediate info strikes.

CRAYON (CReAte Your

Own Newspaper)
http://crayon.net/

If you like to have control over your
environment, then CRAYON is for you.
Fill out the form to customize the news
you want to read, give your publication a
name and a motto, then use your web
browser to return everyday to your own
individual URL and read your paper. It’s
that easy. They suggest you protect your
choices with a password so no one else
can change your paper, so remember to
write it down somewhere, maybe the place
you keep your dozen or so other
passwords. ff
