The Commission of the European Communities (CEC) is part of the institutional structure of the European Union. The main bodies of this institutional structure are the European Parliament (518 directly elected members) which has a consultative and supervisory role in the Community; the Council of Ministers which is made up of government ministers from each of the Member States and is the main decision making body of the Community (the Parliament and the Council constitute the budgetary authority of the Community); the Court of Justice dealing with disputes concerning Community law; the Court of Auditors examining the lawfulness and soundness of the Community financial management; and the European Commission (17 members appointed by agreement between governments) which is the executive arm of Community government, overseeing the proper functioning and development of the Community and, generally, having the sole right to initiate Community policy. These institutions are evolving and soon the Commission will expand beyond 17 members as a result of new countries joining the Community. See CEC (1986).

"As computers, communications, consumer electronics, and digital media converge, cable-TV operators and phone companies are planning information superhighways to carry digitized movies, interactive games, video phone calls, and on-line shopping." (Business Week, 10 May 1993b, p.46). Also, "...the communications industry has embarked on the noisiest gold rush since the forty-niners left for San Francisco with pans clanking. It's not just media companies, either: computer makers and telephone companies are scrambling to get into the digital derby. All of them sense a chance to reinvent home entertainment and information services." (Business Week, 12 July 1993,pp.94-5).

The Internet is a worldwide network of computers which can exchange information with one another. There are several areas in the net, including the World Wide Web (WWW), FTP, Gopher and Usenet. By far, the most popular sector is the World Wide Web, "a simple multimedia format originally developed at CERN to provide a mechanism for sharing information between collaborative researchers. The Web's attraction is its graphical interface, point-and-click interactivity and hypertext links. Compared with the realtime interaction found on CD-ROM, it is definitively clunky in response, but then you have access to a lot more information than can fit onto a 600Mbyte CD-ROM." (MacUser, 26 May 1995a, 77).

Focus in Japan, for instance, reports that "[a]t present video phone conference systems are the most popular video phone products. Following the rapid expansion of NTT's integrated services digital network (ISDN) around Japan, more and more companies are making savings in both travel time and expenses by using video conferencing...Today, video conferencing...allow participants to hook audio-visual (AV) equipment, computers, and faxes to the basic video phone systems, allowing remote parties direct access to business data and presentations."

The idea for the Media Lab, modelled on MIT's successful AI Lab, was conceived in 1979 but, Negroponte says, "it took five years to raise the money and build the lab." (The Guardian, 22 July 1993, p.19).

Brand (1988), p.36. A demonstrator of NewsPeek was produced but it had limited personalization, it could not be individualized for each visitor to the Lab and that was "a significant frustration, since the idea of intense personalization to the user is at the heart of most of the Lab's projects." (ibid, p.37).

'Sociotechnical constituencies' are defined as dynamic ensembles of technical constituents (e.g. machines, instruments) and social constituents (e.g. institutions, interest groups) which interact and shape each other in the course of the creation, production and diffusion of specific technologies or services such as the 'multimedia newspaper'. On the concept of 'sociotechnical constituencies', see Molina (1990, 1993,1995).

Obviously, what is happening inside El Periodico is intimately related to the inter-institutional alignment of project NewsPad and, indeed, the concepts discussed in this section are of validity for this level of analysis as well. For the sake of this paper, however, the argument concentrates fully on the intra-institutional level of analysis.

Williamson (1979) uses the term 'governance structure' to refer to "the institutional matrix or framework within which transactions are negotiated and executed..." (239). Governance is used here in the similar sense of the organization's framework guiding or influencing individual and collective interactions and associated resource allocations.
