Abstract
- This article provides information on the Web portal, DocuTicker. In 2004, Gary Price planned to spin off a new Weblog from his popular ResourceShelf. This one would be devoted, purely and simply, to identifying new reports from government agencies, trade associations, think tanks, non-governmental organizations, and other organizations that releases research studies, and position papers. Since then, DocuTicker has taken on a life of its own. DocuTicker is never lacking for sustenance. Substance, on the other hand, is a separate issue. Substance, like beauty, is definitely in the eye of the beholder. This can be heard from journalists who have gotten story ideas from things they have seen on DocuTicker. From people who latch onto an interesting item and wonder where they can find similar material. And also from folks who feel that there are too much liberal stuff or too much conservative stuff posted at the site. DocuTicker does not have an ideological slant. Basically, they post anything that someone might want to read because the topic is current, it contains potentially useful statistics, and a helpful bibliography is included. However, DocuTicker does not include commentary from its contributors Internet.
