Founded as a nonprofit public service in 1999, NetFamilyNews quickly became the “community newspaper” of a vital interest community: parents, educators, and everyone interested in young people’s use of digital tech and media. As an email newsletter in its first decade, NFN had subscribers in more than 50 countries. Those newsletters were archived each week here at NetFamilyNews.org. The site became a blog in the early 2000s when the Blogger tool became available (and Anne could stop converting text to html every week!). Now NFN is a WordPress blog that can also be found on Facebook (Anne also tweets her posts, as well as great material from educators and researchers from @annecollir at Twitter). She welcomes your comments, follows and shares!
