Our timeline looks at the history of new media and online journalism from
1969 to
2008.
We are presenting it in two parts, with parallel sections on "Technology/Services/Social" and "The Media."
David Shedden, Library Director of the
Poynter Institute's Eugene Patterson Library, began compiling this timeline and
bibliography in 1995.
We hope the timeline serves as a useful reference tool for journalists, students, and researchers.
We also hope it helps preserve the history of new media and online journalism, a history that isn't very new after all.
