Delaying News in the Age of the Internet


Read an interesing article on news traveling fast inThe New York Times by Noam Cohen.
"For better or worse, it seems that even NBC News cannot protect the family of one of its own in that way.

The lesson seems to be this: as long as there is news, people will try to share it. And new technology promises to turn the process into a tide that can swallow us up, good intentions and all. "
