Special Online Coverage of Princess Diana's Death
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
As many of us awoke to the shocking news of Princess Diana's
(1961-1997) and Dodi Fayed's passing Sunday morning, online
coverage and a flood of tributes immediately followed.
NBNews <http://nbnews.com has
attempted to
compile a list of
the most complete Internet sites covering this tragedy.
The most official (and consequently, heavily trafficked)
site is that of The British Monarchy <http://www.royal.gov.uk
which pays tribute to Princess Diana on its home page and
additionally offers a biography, condolence book and
most recent press releases including funeral arrangements
recently issued by the Palace (scheduled for this Saturday
morning at Westminster Abbey <http://www.westminster-abbey.org/).
London-based media outlets are offering their own unique
tributes including The Guardian in London
<http://www.guardian.co.uk/Diana/
which
offers full
Guardian coverage and analysis of the Princess' death
including pictures, online reactions and a message board
where visitors may further discuss the tragic news.
The Electronic Telegraph <http://www.telegraph.co.uk
offers a wealth of the latest stories including an
obituary, "Why Diana Could Not be saved," "Friends tell
of Diana's happiness," and a great deal more about the
world's most photographed woman.
ITN <http://www.itn.co.uk has an
hour
long RealVideo
tribute to Diana on its site and the nation's official
broadcaster, The BBC <http://www.bbc.co.uk provides both
Real Audio and text reports from its correspondents.
Another exceptional site is that of The Royal Network's
"Tears Flow Across Nations"
<http://www.royalnetwork.com/tears.html
, a lengthy page
of ongoing reactions and tributes from online users around
the globe.
Memorial.Net's Tribute to Diana <http://www.memorial.net/diana
features a biography, news links, a public memorial and other
special links, while another London-based memorial page
<http://www.etoile.demon.co.uk/Diana.h
tml
offers the latest headlines, chat rooms, a Royal Genealogy
page and links to the uk-royalty mailing list.
And we could not easily forget the extraordinary pictorial
catalog at Christie's site <http://www.christies.com/sales/diana/.
You may recall that Princess Diana auctioned many of her
dresses through Christie's on June 25, 1997. It would now
sadly appear that the catalog acts as a virtual tribute to
the Princess' royal life and portrays, page-after-page,
her irreplacable grace and beauty.

I am collecting links to personal homepage tributes to Princess Diana, as
well
as to pages that are calling for action either through petitions or
boycotts.
I have a preliminary page containing links and some analysis up at
http://personalweb
.miningco.com/library/weekly/mcurrent.htm
Web memorials are an established genre but never has there been an
outpouring such as this. For every bouquet left at the gates of the
palaces --
or the doors of British embassies worldwide -- there is a Web tribute.
