Apple Computer Inc and newspaper publisher Gannett Co Inc are launching the first daily electronic college news service for college newspapers – the USA Today/Apple College Information Network, which will enable college journalists to receive tailored student news daily, interact with Gannett editors, contribute stories and learn how to use desktop publishing software: the Network will include the Gannett graphics, as seen in USA Today and other Gannett dailies, which are produced on Apple’s Macintosh; participating college newspapers will connect on-line to the news network using Macintosh computers, modems and special College Information Network software and will pay for the news network by trading the service for advertising space.
