Olympics 2000 News

[Gary Price <gprice@GWIS2.CIRC.GWU.EDU>]

Hello from the National Capital Area.

As we move closer to the Summer Olympics in Sydney here is a source that
might be of some value to you.

I just came across a "beta" of a news compilation service linked from the
homepage of the International Olympic Committee. Material is gathered
and linked from a wide variety of sources. Btw, I could not determine if
the site is "officially" sanctioned by the IOC.

Links have been added today to stories from the Washington Post, Toronto
Star, AP, and The Times (London). Material is also browsable by various
categories. Other parts of the service are updated every 4 hours with new
material.

Finally, a graph illustrating the amount of Olympic stories by day from a
"worldwide sample" of sources is provided.

The Sydney 2000 World Wide Press Coverage Site can be found at:
