Given the revolutionary impact of the Internet Age, there's no lack of stories for journalists to pursue. Most recently, we published Kenya: The Online Tribal Wars, a dispatch from that country which reports on how the tribal hatreds that left 1500 dead a few months ago have now moved online. In January we examined how the Web is transforming the experience of childhood. "Growing Up Online" continues to have a very strong online audience, and we'll be rebroadcasting it nationally on PBS May 20th. See why it's stirred such interest. Read the letters that came in, and, view online the full program.

The Internet has even transformed the experience of climbing Everest. Our man on the mountain, Doug Pierson, who is attempting his first summit, has been regularly sending us blog posts. Here's the latest on Doug's situation now that the Chinese finally got their torch to the summit.
