One of the noticeable differences between printed literature and electronic text in regard to the JFK assassination is the immense difference between the authority and authorial presence each presents. Published contributions to the discipline of history are from academics, scholars and journalists. These professional and commercial offerings present a collective closed text. Authorship on the web whilst singular in relation to an individual site becomes part of the collective voice. Kennedy assassination sites take on many forms. Noticeably as a collection, they go beyond traditional, book design principles. There are tabloid style sites (such as Probe: The Truth Is Out There), interactive newspapers (JFK Assassination: Special Report), critical collection (The Academic JFK Assassination Site), and metaphorical libraries. The collection of sites can be likened to a community connected by a mutual interest in the JFK assassination.
