The current Internet is known as a place where anyone can publish anything... for better or for worse. However, in the earliest days of the Web, there were lots of questions about what kind of content would be acceptable, who was responsible for what got posted, and who could regulate speech online. Those questions were answered thanks to publications like Nerve.com

Launched in parallel with the signing of the Communications Decency Act in 1996, Nerve.com was one of the earliest websites to put the new law to the test by publishing thoughtful but explicit content that pushed the boundaries of what could and couldn't be written about on the Web. At its helm and directing the content was Genevieve Field, one of the pioneers of digital editing.

On this episode of Web Masters, you'll hear how Genevieve helped grow Nerve from a quirky online publication into a website with a global audience that was changing the tone of Internet content.
