Vigdor Schreibman and Internet news

The Federal Information News Syndicate (FINS), Vigdor Schreibman Editor & Publisher, was from its inauguration on Jan 11, 1993, an Internet-based news organ. As early as April 5, 1993, back issues of FINS were available online via the UCSF Gopher; its web-based archive -- the first "blog"! On Jan 9, 1994, the University of Maryland, inaugurated FINS InfoAge Lib. Three years later, on Aug 20, 1997, this archive became, Fins Global Information Age Library, at SunSITE (Sun Software, Information, and Technology Exchange) located at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, where it has operated continuously during the past eight years. This archive was designed as an experimental "digital library" containing back issues of Fins News Columns and Special Reports, as well as pivotal public policy papers "communicating the emerging philosophy of the Information Age."

Vigdor Schreibman was also "the first Internet-based writer to seek accreditation from the Congressional press gallery," according to Michael Wines, writing in his "Media" column at The New York Times, Feb. 26, 1996, at D7. The threat of Internet-based news reporting alarmed the establishment press. Wines sought to disparage internet-based reporters in his story. He compared them with "throngs of Lilliputians" like the editor of FINS, who inhabit the virtual world of cyberspace while reporters of the established press were depicted as "Gullivers," "a colossus of a creature" drawing upon the imagry of the story of Man-Mountain, told by the great eighteenth-century satirist Jonathan Swift in his book Gulliver's Travels.

However, the fiercely independent, Internet-based news reporting set in motion by Vigdor Schreibman quickly established a new mode of reporting that did not conform to the elitest imagry Mr. Wines sought to convey. Nor were these internet-based reporters -- the first bloggers -- likely to become merely acquiescent tools of the Big Money controlled Congress and its compliant news media.

While The New York Times, The Washington Post, and other establishment media outlets formed a mass media cheering section for the revolution in telecommunications, Schreibman's News Columns and Special Reports conveyed a radically different story: of "telco feudalism" enacted by that revolution, in a legislative process that was rife with corrupt polticial influence peddling, by Congressional leaders such as Senate Majority Leader Bob Dole (R-KS), and by House Speaker Newt Gingrich (R-GA).

Those stories were to pave the way for a new class of media politics with an "unforgiving toughness and a mastery of new means of communications" that within a decade exploded into a serious challenge between The Beltway versus The Blogosphere, as reported by Howard Fineman in Newsweek-MSNBC, September 14, 2005. In the early days of the 21st-century the politics of Internet Bloggers has become a powerful new instrument of Countervailing Power moving toward an overthrow of the governing class.

The next crucial generation of bloggers will be compelled to democratize communications with the facilitation of technology that can manage A Technique of Democracy, which is needed to "form a more perfect Union" as the First Americans envisioned in the Constitution of the United States. In the absence of a genuine Union the governing system will be guided by the coercive phenomenon of "Groupthink" responsive to raw power alone, which is what has been occuring for some time.
