CyberWire Dispatch, by Brock N. Meeks

CyberWire Dispatch, officially launched in January of 1994, has rapidly gained recognition as a hard-hitting, take-no-prisoners news service that concentrates on issues relevant to Cyberspace.

Dispatch is written by Brock N. Meeks as a free service for the Net community at large. Dispatch offers commentary, investigations and hard news relevant to issues of the day. Meeks brings to Dispatch his skills as a daily reporter with more than 10 years of experience on the Internet. To produce Dispatch he uses the same journalistic guidelines and ethics that have brought him journalism awards in 7 of the last 10 years, including a National Press Club journalism prize awarded him in July 1994.

Using his reporting and investigative skills to dig into the murky, often confusing waters awash on the Internet today, Brock's Dispatch articles often bring these stories to the Net well ahead of the major daily newspapers.
