Federal Computer Week prides itself on providing you with the most up-to-the-minute
information about the federal information technology community. But sometimes
you need more than news stories, features and opinion pieces to get the
whole picture. That’s where FCW’s Special Reports come in.
In 2006, FCW began incorporating multimedia elements such as video, audio
and slideshows into Special Reports. This year’s special reports
from the gamut from serious subjects such as homeland security five years
after the 2001 terrorist attacks to lighter pieces on gadgets for business
travelers. Find all of them here.
