ABSTRACT
Much has been written and spoken in the past few years about delivering printed information electronically to television screens. 1 Nearly everyone agrees that such delivery will become more widespread than it is now, but there is much less agreement on what kinds of information will be available, how it will be paid for, how it will be delivered (over-the-air, by telephone line, by cable, or by fiber optics), and what effects it will have on existing media, especially such printed media as newspapers and magazines. There is also very little known about how such videotex systems are affecting, or might affect, journalistic values and work.
