Wired war
Article Abstract:
The growing use of electronic publishing techniques by media organizations is leading to considerable conflict over copyright with the freelance photographers and writers who produced the original material. Electronic media fails to take intellectual property into account, according to the Authors' Licensing and Collecting Society, and thus casts doubt on the very concept of authorship. In principle, both contributors and publishers accept that material should be used only for a single purpose, but problems arise over what third parties may or may not do with the material.

All change at BBC Online
Article Abstract:
Restructuring is taking place at BBC Online in the run-up to a relaunch in autumn 1999. BBC Online has rapidly become one of the largest European websites, offering more than 500,000 pages of pictures, video, audio and text. However, it is operating in an extremely competitive environment. Many BBC Online sites are now shifting away from a focus on individual programmes, and are moving towards themed genres. Only the leading programme brands will retain a dedicated site.

Further spins on the Web
Article Abstract:
Many companies are now becoming aware of the need to create a second generation Web site. It was common for first generation Web sites to be rather low key and not very in tune with the needs of customers. In contrast, second generation Web sites are much more dynamic, creating very close links with consumers. Web sites are now repositioning their content, placing more emphasis on that which is popular and dropping some content altogether.
