Source: The Media Awareness Project of DrugSense Pubdate: 29 Aug 98 Dear Newshawks: We are trying to reduce the number of duplicate posts of the same item to the news service. As the number of newshawks continues to grow, the chance of the same item being sent in by more than one newshawk increases. We have just added software code to roboeditor at - where you send the items, that checks for identical previously posted items and sends them to the same member of the editing/posting team who should then be able to verify if it is a duplicate. But this only works if all the newshawks use the headline of the article as the Subject: of the email sent to - roboeditor only checks email subject lines for duplicates! Details on other aspects of newshawking that make it easier for the posting team to keep up are at: http://www.mapinc.org/hawk.htm Thank You, Newshawks, for all that you do!
