Yugoslavia on the Net
Yugoslavia has ejected most of the international newsmedia from Kosovo and
watchers must consider the sporadic local radio and TV reports somewhat
suspect. The Net, however, has tried to fill the void. Anonymizer has
created a filter to protect the identities of those filing dispatches and
updates from the region. A Kosovo Reports section at eGroups holds supposed
first-person accounts of the situation, and another section contains
international news reports. If blatant bias is your cup of tea, try Borba,
a political daily founded by the Yugoslav government, or Beograd.com. Radio
B92 is an independent Yugoslavian voice, shut down by the government but
free on the Web. Wired reports on the country's Internet infrastructure,
with this great quote: "As a result of recent NATO attacks on Yugoslavia,
Eunet Yugoslavia is unable to provide its customers with payment services
and customer support," says an notice on the site." And you thought busy
signals were bad....
