Our News and New Media class at Medill (perhaps better known on this list
as Leah Gentry's alma mater) spent Election Night watching live Web
coverage and producing a live report on it that was posted late Tuesday
night.

They wrote some stories and columns, provided a bunch of screen shots and
kept diaries on a handful of the larger sites. It's a mix of insightful
comment, bizzare observation and, well, just a wide range of stuff from a
class of mostly college seniors who wanted to learn about new media before
leaving journalism school. They range from HTML jockeys to
never-seen-the-Web before this class.

And I know they'd love to hear from the folks on this list if anyone's
inclined to respond (private mail to me would be great).

It's at http://www.medill.nwu.edu/people/election96

Thanks.
