We're a newspaper, an online commercial daily newspaper, Wendy,
and a wire service.  

	As Adam told Internet World ('Renegade Band," Sept. '95), "In
terms of a newspaper with original content, The American Reporter may be
the first," said Adam Gaffin, author of the Big Dummy's Guide to the
Internet and online editor for Network World ... Gaffin reserves the
distrinction of first Net newspaper for Clarinet, which sells days-old
wire copy to various networks and can be found on many systems' Usenet
list." 

	I think you have an e-zine, and certainly the first
daily e-zine I've ever heard of.  


Best,

Joe Shea
