Home page examines media effects
■ linko: Media t aeracy
Project features access to
other on-lme sources
By Brian Womack
A home page that focuses on
the six ietal efftx ts of the media
was ranked among the top
percent in its class, said Cary
Herrington. the home page's
developer.
Herrington. a senior instructor
in the School of Education, said
the home page is a data base for
educ oting teat hers about the
media and its effet ts on society
The home page, called the
Media Literal \ I’nijis t, features
links to other home pages that
deal with topics related to
media issues, sot h as media lit
eracy.
"It is the most comprehensive
situ [because) it has other home
pages involved in it.”
Herrington said
The functions of the home
page are
• Collet ting articles and
biographies for teac hers to use
• Using gateways to other
home pages for film, television,
lonrnaiism ana >kivertising in
I hi* media
• Building links on the home
page with other groups that
couldn't otherwise afford to set
up their own
John Pungente. president of
the Canadian Association of
Media Kducational
Organisations, said the page is
an important tool for a project
tie is involved in
He has been using the page to
assist hirn in his work with the
Canadian Radlo/Tele vision
Tele c o in m u n i r. a t i o n s
Commission, which is currently
working on new guidelines for
violence in the media
"The page is the most valu
able resource for media litera
cy." he said
"He\ done a phenomenal job
in designing the page and work
ing to establish a relationship to
other groups." said Martin
Kaufman, dean of the College ol

.strategies tor Media Literacy,
said the home page saves
money in research time as well
because the sources of informa
tion art! easily accessed.
Approximately -toil to 1.200
users dial up the page each
month to use the sources.
Ferrington said. Home pages of
this kind usually draw 500 to
1.000 users a month.
He said the number of users is
what is important to him.
"It nice to have the recogni
tion, but the more important
thing is the number of people
using it.” he said.
Farrington said he didn't
know how to set up home pages
when he began to work on the
page He was doing research for
a project on the effects of media
on children when he realized a
data base of all the information
relevant to his subject could be
helpful He began the home
page last November on Gopher
and moved to the World Wide
Web last January.
