The Edutainer!

Monday, September 25, 2006


I read an article in the 9/25/2006 edition of the San Jose Mercury News newspaper about a copyright law violation then checked MercuryNews.com for the story. The issue is between Santa Cruz and Huntington Beach Californai, and the use of the title "Surf City" on a t-shirt. The colomns run photo perfect. Now wait a moment, while the story is identical, the framing of the article is not. Bottoming out the news story online were links to more possilble depth of information of this nature. This is not an available option on the hard copy issue on the news stand. So, for the interested online reader, much more information is but a click away. I could easily search the archive to similar topics, and past news on these cities. while the original story is informative, the individual questions any reader may want to ask/research for themselves is endless. Those options, to the online suscriber, are fofilled with ease. With the paper copy, start your beach bonfire. Online, "surf's up!" (I had to say it.)

  • Explain "depth of nature."

  • "...links to more possible depth of information of this nature." Okay, I was attempting to point out the linking opprotunities surrounding the post of the original article online. Thus, the opprotunity for obtaining more information on this topic ("of this nature") not originally offered by the news article. The advantage to the online reader is the ability to immediately continue his/her depth in researching further, and with great ease.
