Computers have changed the landscape of both gathering and disseminating information throughout the world. As journalists quickly move toward the 21st century and perhaps, a new era of electronic journalism, resources are needed to understand the newest and most successful computer-based news reporting strategies. Written to serve that purpose, this book is designed to show both professional journalists and students which of the newest personal computing tools are being used by the nation's leading news organizations and top individual journalists. It further describes how these resources are being used on a daily basis and for special projects. In recent years, computers have taken on new and dominating roles in the process of news analysis, newsgathering, and news processing. Today's forward-thinking journalists often seek guidance over what they can do to strengthen their ability to be society's information processors and managers. This volume focuses upon how successful journalists are using computers through a major national computer-assisted reporting (CAR) study of daily newspapers. The study included two national surveys and a series of personal interviews with many of the nation's leading CAR specialists. Several current examples of stories used for successful database- and online-oriented news assignments are provided as part of a series of case studies incorporated throughout the book. The additional depth of description and the presentation of portions of stories themselves should help readers to understand the complete process involving CAR-oriented journalism. Substantial analytical detail is used to discuss the extent of computer use in newsrooms, computer training, CAR projects, CAR in daily reporting, hardware and software most commonly used, levels and types of online services used in news research, and portable hardware and software. The book concludes with the author's assessment of the effects and impact of personal computing in the newsroom and the future of personal computer applications in newsgathering. Explaining and defining advanced applications or terminology for readers, the approach to the book assumes a minimal familiarity with computers, but no advanced knowledge of computer operation.

Windows 95 is totally new in design, concept, and implementation from Windows 3.1. For the Windows application programmer, the most noticeable difference is a complete change in the memory-addressing model. And that is only the beginning. Windows programming expert David Kipping helps you migrate smoothly and easily to this new environment. Concentrating on how you can best transform your current applications to the Windows 95 operating system, Kipping provides you with a detailed, hands-on, and practical examination of approaches and techniques for porting from Windows 3.1 to Windows 95; the four Microsoft APIs and the three operating systems; the changes from a 16-bit segmented memory-addressing model to a 32-bit flat memory-addressing model, including heap management and virtual memory; taking advantage of true multitasking operations with independent threads of execution and synchronizing primitiveswhich enable the construction of programs with features not previously possible; the revamped and upgraded file system, induding memory-mapped files and anonymous pipes; using DDE for client-server applications; the internal structure of Windows 95, including memory management, process scheduling, and the virtual machine architecture. This book is an essential reference for beginning programmers and experienced developers alike.

This indispensable reference helps readers save time and money by answering common user questions about Windows 95 in the form of short, succinct answers, time-saving tips, warnings, and more. The revamped series is organized alphabetically by key term with loads of helpful advice.
