Abstract

The Internet has had an unprecedented impact on the ready availability of information to the public. The conflict in Yugoslavia and Kosovo is an excellent example of how information sources can proliferate around a current, hot topic. However, as is true with any controversial topic, although much of the information available on the Internet is reliable, much of it is propaganda or disinformation. The user must be wary when weighing up the relative merits of these sources. This essay presents a very small, select set of Internet sources devoted to the Kosovo crisis. The author has attempted to present selections that span a range of ideological perspectives reflecting the views of all the major players in the crisis.
