How readers consume and recall news presented in online and print versions of two newspapersin the Netherlands are investigated in this experimental study. Few differences are found between the online and print versions in terms of news supply. Reader attention to the news stories varies, depending on the newspaper and news category. No consistent reading pattern is evident and the print version readers do not read more than the online version readers. News Consumption seems to be more dependent on the news category, reader gender and interest in a particular topic than on whether the news appears in print or online. Finally, on the basis of cued and free recall questions, no consistent pattern differentiates readers of the print newspapers from the online versions. In conclusion, evidence has not been found that online readers consume and retain news differently from readers of the print versions examined in this study.

A number of terms are in vogue that describe the transformation of science through utilization of Grid computing, Internet-based instrumentation, and global collaboration. For the purposes of this special theme section of the Journal of Computer-Mediated Communication, the term e-science serves as an umbrella for these initiatives. This article introduces the contributions to the collection and includes a number of suggestions for extending the exploratory work performed to date, including attention to disciplinary and contextual diversity and the importance of longitudinal research designs and historical awareness and of the social shaping of technology as a theoretical concept to understanding the changes currently underway in the scientific enterprise.
