“…15 While observing interactive options in news sites, several scholars have noted that most sites do not develop interactivity beyond functional and navigational levels (Massey and Levy, 1999;Schultz, 1999;Jankowski and Van Selm, 2000;Kenney et al, 2000). Recent cross-national research by the EU-funded Mudia project shows that 'old school' or traditional journalism approaches -generally lacking in advanced interactive options -indeed still dominate the web across Europe (Quinn and Trench, 2002;White, 2002).…”

“…The most widespread form of newsmedia production online is the mainstream news site, generally offering a selection of editorial content and a minimal, generally filtered or moderated form of participatory communication (Schultz, 1999;Jankowski and Van Selm, 2000;Kenney et al, 2000). This type of content is distinctive in that it can be characterized as originated (produced originally for the Web) or aggregated (shoveled from a linked parent medium, 'framed' or 'deep-linked' from an external sourcenot in the least done by so-called artificial market actors such as searchbots and spiders [software that automatically enables internet searches]; see Gatarski, 2001).…”

The internet - specifically its graphic interface, the world wide web - has had a major impact on all levels of (information) societies throughout the world. Specifically for journalism as it is practiced online, we can now identify the effect that this has had on the profession and its culture(s). This article defines four particular types of online journalism and discusses them in terms of key characteristics of online publishing - hypertextuality, interactivity, multimediality - and considers the current and potential impacts that these online journalisms can have on the ways in which one can define journalism as it functions in elective democracies worldwide. It is argued that the application of particular online characteristics not only has consequences for the type of journalism produced on the web, but that these characteristics and online journalisms indeed connect to broader and more profound changes and redefinitions of professional journalism and its (news) culture as a whole.

“…Tankard and Ban (1998), for example, assessed 100 news sites and found that 94% of the 296 stories they examined proposed no link at all. Likewise, Kenney et al (2000) inspected 100 online newspapers, and discovered that only 32% of the stories proposed links of any kind. Further research showed that news sites are especially cautious when it comes to providing external links (i.e.…”

“…The network features and interactivity capabilities of the Internet were seen as triggers for a revolution bringing "a fundamental transformation" of journalism back to its original public service rationale (Pavlik 2001, p. xi). However, surveys and comparative content analysis have demonstrated the lack of interactivity, multimedia, and participatory journalism (Kenney, Gorelik, & Mwangi 2000;Matheson 2004, Schroeder 2004, Van Der Wurff & Lauf 2005 in online news media.…”

This article summarises findings from a research project on the digitisation of Norwegian newsrooms, analysing trends in the industry and changes in user-habits. Findings suggest that most journalists are positive about the digitisation of the newsroom but fear that cutbacks in staff will prevent them from exploiting the potential of the new technology. They also fear that too much focus on technical skills will leave less space for critical journalism. Findings also suggest a correlation between resources used to develop the online edition and the perceived ethical standards of the content. More online journalism leads to a higher degree of scepticism among the readers. There are two different justifications for using resources on the online edition. Some newspaper executives hope to use the online edition to recruit new readers to the paper edition while another group hopes to develop the breadth of market service through a portfolio of publishing platforms.
