I am curious about a few things, more news in general, but do have an
online bent.  Now that the public has more access (at least in theory) to
the media via Email etc.... has this had any impact on what stories get
covered?  I would say at least a few times a month someone sends email to
my site regarding one story or another from around the world that is not
getting attention... sometimes it is activists just hoping for an outlet
other times the stories seem to revolve around very serious problems.  I
assume others out there have gotten the same types of things... have any
of these led to coverage of a story that was not covered before?  And with
the Internet being what it is... are you more suspicious that you are
being hoaxed or not because it came to you this way.

If this seems off topic, I apologize in advance, I just got an email from
a group claiming severe human rights violations, including rape and murder
by military forces during the Indonesian riots not long ago, and it just
got me wondering.
