Darren Miller, co-author of Consider the Source: A Critical Guide to 100 Prominent News and Information Sites on the Web, discussed the book with with readers on June 16 at Osondu Booksellers in Waynesville, N.C. After reading from the book's introduction, highlighting the reasons why and how Consider the Source came to be, Miller revealed the five sites of the 100 to receive top marks. He then explained why one site became a pleasant surprise while another fell woefully short of expectations. An engaging Q&A ensued, followed by a signing. "Margaret Osondu was a great host, and she has a gem with this great independent bookstore," Miller said. "The audience asked some really interesting questions about things worth thinking about: the future of newspapers, the rankings of the sites, what makes a good provider of information, sparking some great discussions."
