>5. Crisis Communication & the Internet
>http://www.firstmonday.org/issues/issue7_4/bucher/index.html
>April 2002 First Monday. A new report asks does the Internet increase or
>decrease the risk of a communication breakdown during a crisis. It
>concludes that while the Internet limits access to certain kinds of
>information and increases the spread of rumours, hoaxes, false
>information, and bias, it also decentralises information sources, enables
>personal journalism, accelerates the spread of information, acts as a
>watchdog on official information, creates global archives, and establishes
>virtual communities.

>8. Indigenous Communities Discuss the Internet

>June 6 2002 APC. Computers, Internet and specialised Web servers are
>increasingly part of indigenous community networks. In Mexico initiatives
>are being proposed by government, foundations, companies and indigenous
>communities to increase access to these tools. Representatives from 40
>indigenous communities recently met to discuss how to ensure the
>technologies are used to 'feed not damage their identity and
>self-determination'. For information contact [email protected] at LaNeta
