New World Times
The New World Times, first issued on August 20, 1995, is the first publication of its kind in Alphaworld and perhaps on the 3d Internet. Dataman is notable for his service as an editor-in-chief of New World Times, perhaps considered to be an ancestor from which many news publications serving Active Worlds descended from (i.e. AWNews, etc.), roughly from 1995 to 1997.
