Industry Awareness Internet Exercise The Internet allows for near real-time reporting of news and trends in this industry. Mergers, acquisitions, prominent staff appointments, and other important news is disseminated on-line much faster than print. Using the sites that follow, compare the latest print publications with their on-line versions. How do the news stories differ? Could potential investors be interested in these stories earlier? How are hotel guests possibly affected? Figure 6-11
