HOLLANDER DIES
Motorsports journalist and public-relations guy Michael Hollander, who virtually invented race reporting online almost three decades ago, died Sept. 24 of mesothelioma. He was 61.
Hollander started sending stories over what would become the Internet in 1979 while working for a fledgling outfit called CompuServe Information Service. While Hollander's outlet is still around, online as www.motorsportsforum.com, it was his influence on other journalists that left the biggest mark. While they typed away on a piece of paper, Hollander sent his reports out on an acoustic modem ear-muffed over one end of a telephone receiver. When other reporters saw that the technology worked, the floodgates opened.
Hollander leaves his wife, Dr. Sandra Horwitz, and one daughter, Sharon.
