| | NetNews - Penn Printout, Oct 1993 |
 | | With NetNews not only can you become your own editor and select the material you wish to read, you can also participate actively--you can be moderator, columnist, reporter, researcher, commentator, interviewer, talk-show host, or even media personality. |
 | | NetNews, also referred to as news or USENET, is a method of exchanging messages in predefined subject areas. |
 | | Penn's NetNews archive carries more than 3,000 separate discussion groups organized into hierarchical "newsgroups." Most of these newsgroups are distributed internationally over the Internet, but Penn's NetNews service supplements them with many local, University-based discussion groups. |
