A self-appointed council <http://www.netcontent.org/membership.html> of "industry representatives," including people from the Wall Street Journal, the Newspaper Association of America, CNET, Wired and Microsoft, is debating whether the online world might be a safer, happier place if a subcommittee of the council decides what's news and what's not." Netly News' Joshua Quittner has written an excellent article on the above which can be accessed directly via the first-listed URL @ Pathfinder. Any comments out there?? Susan Klopfer
