The following is part of a longer article that I posted to net.motss.
I thought net.news.group readers might also be interested.
STATISTICS:
Since late August, gay related issues have been discussed on USENET.
Here are some statistics. (As of approx. Monday, 10/18)
Newsgroup # of gay-related articles # of blocks generated
--------- ------------------------- ---------------------
news.group 60 139
singles 48 104
flame 15 39
news 15 23
religion 3 17
women 3 7
general 2 2
TOTAL: 146 articles 331 blocks
Over 75 different people submitted articles.
If you can think of any other interesting statistics that could
be generated, let me know. Myself, I'm gonna write a 7 - 10 page
paper called "Censorship and the Electronic Press" for my POPULAR
CULTURE AND MASS COMMUNICATIONS IN AMERICA course. If anyone "out
there" knows of any books which discuss censorship as it relates
to the "Communications Revolution," tell me.
