Hot off the Internet
WW available in PDF
By Gary Wilson
The digital edition of Workers World is now available
online.
An exact reproduction of the print edition of this newspaper
can be downloaded from the Web at www.workers.org.
The digital edition of Workers World is in the portable
document format (PDF) and requires the Acrobat Reader. Making
the paper available in this format allows readers to get the
complete version of the paper every week on the Web. The PDF
version includes all the pictures, headlines and text found in
the regular print edition, rather than the more limited
text-only version that has been available on the Web since
1996.
Many readers find the digital edition both easier to read
and easier to print when they want to reproduce WW articles to
give their friends or co-workers a copy or post an article on
bulletin boards such as those often found at work, in shopping
malls or at school.
Workers World has been an indispensable source of
alternative, independent news in the United States. WW's
anti-war and anti-racist news coverage has drawn a growing
number of readers as sources for this kind of reporting have
become harder to find.
The WW Web site at workers.org has been averaging almost
100,000 unique readers every month since Sept. 11, 2001.
The digital edition has already been down loaded by
thousands of readers in the United States and around the world
in the two weeks it has been available. Readers should note
that because of the size of the digital edition, it is best
suited for users with high-speed connections like DSL or cable
modems. Dial-up modem users may have difficulty downloading the
digital version.
All the Internet editions of Workers World--the email
edition, the Web version and the digital PDF version--are made
available free of charge. This is made possible by a large
group of supporters of WW who want to make this paper available
as widely as possible. Readers who want to join in this effort
should contact the Workers World Supporter Program at www.workers.org/orders
or Workers World, 55 W. 17 St., New York, NY 10011.
