Yes, actually...I'm now contacted pretty often by people, both
journalists and non-journalists (readers?), regarding media coverage of
the Internet. Not as often as I'd like, actually (there's still so much
HORRIBLY incorrect trash published every day)...but enough.
Also, I'm fairly sure that a.i.m-c has improved coverage by Time
magazine, the Washington Post, NetGuide, and probably a number of other
publications as well. We've also got quite a few participants from
Internet World (including FAQ co-maintainer Tristan Louis, who got his job
at IW /after/ he started working with me on the FAQ.)
