Notes:
Presented at the Association for Education in Journalism and Mass Communication conference in San Antonio, Texas, August 2005. 19 pages., Examines what Fourth Generation wireless broadband technology (e.g., for blogging, live television broadcasting, Web publication) may mean to newspapers in small communities. "The small-city newspaper must realize its own historical advantages in terms of depth reporting and its position as the community touchstone."
Examines five cases of rural areas that deployed information and communication technology programs. "There is little evidence that telecommunications lead to economic growth or that businesses in the communities are using ICT extensively." Instead, "the physical deployment of the hardware is not sufficient to achieve success."
