“…Research at that time showed that newspapers tended to be reduced but otherwise exact copies of print editions (Neuberger, Tonnemacher, Biebl, and Duck, 1998;Saksena and Hollifield, 2002;Zürn, 2000) with little, if any, interactivity, hyperlinking, multimedia, or realtime information (Kenney, Gorelik, and Mwangi, 2000;Massey and Levy, 1999;Schultz, 1999). These findings underline the limitations of technologically-based optimism and focus attention on the business-economic constraints of media evolutionary processes (Lehman-Wilzig and Cohen-Avigdor, 2004;Stöber, 2004).…”

“…Research in the late 1990s found that Internet-specific features were only sparsely used. Interactivity, hyperlinking, multimedia and real-time information had to be searched for with a magnifier (Kenney et al, 2000;Massey and Levy, 1999;Schultz, 1999). In 2003, the same conclusion still holds for multimedia and personalisation.…”

“…Content interactivity expresses the consultation logic of the database. Interpersonal interactivity rather expresses the logic of conversation: two-way, interactive communication between users, or users and journalists (Kluver, 2002;Li, 1998;Schultz, 1999). General features that stimulate personal interactivity, invitations to comment, opinion polls, discussion forums and an option to forward news items, are provided by oneto two-thirds of online newspapers (Table 3).…”

“…al. selected sample times, 9:00 am and 19:00 pm, were chosen as the times when print editions of morning and evening papers were available, too.Previous research has shown that the structure and design of newspapers and the provision of various Internet-specific features (such as multimedia and interactivity) are relatively constant over time (Li, 1998;Schultz, 1999). A one-day sample enables us to describe these elements reliably.…”

This article assesses online newspapers in Europe from a media evolutionary perspective, ten years after the introduction of the World Wide Web. Comparing print and online front pages of 51 newspapers in 14 countries in 2003, we argue that online newspapers complement print newspapers in modest ways. Online, publishers put more emphasis on service information, offer additional news items, that nonetheless report on similar topics in similar ways, and add personal interactivity, content selectivity and realtime news to the print news offering.One subset of online newspapers charges for services, and offers more content and personal interactivity. Another, partly overlapping subset offers more original news; in a short and anonymous format. Overall, however, online newspapers in Europe make up a heterogeneous group, suggesting that online newspapers still have to find their definite form and role in the European news market. Keywords: media evolution, online newspapers, print newspapers, Europe Online newspapers in EuropeThe development of online newspapers is a major, yet unfinished experiment in innovation in the newspaper industry. It has caught the imagination and attention of scholars and experts, who advanced enthusiastic views of how the Internet could improve the provision of news and debate in society, as well as gloomy predictions of how print newspapers and traditional newspaper publishers would become obsolete. At a more concrete level, the development of online newspapers is a continuous search for ways to use Internet technology to improve existing practices of news production and consumption. Communications 33 (2008) Richard van der Wurff, et. al. This paper assesses how newspaper publishers and editors have dealt with these challenges. Our focus is on serious European newspapers in 2003, ten years after the introduction of the World Wide Web. Our approach is media-evolutionary and comparative. We investigate how publishers position online newspapers on the intermedia news market in relation to print newspapers. Our guiding hypothesis is that new media initiate a media evolutionary process in which old and new media alike are forced to adapt to each other and find new and different niches (Dimmick and Rothenbuhler, 1984;Lehman-Wilzig and Cohen-Avigdor, 2004). What particular niches old and new media, and in our case, print and online newspapers, eventually occupy is a question for empirical research. Beginning to address this question, we investigate in this paper to what extent print and online newspapers offer the same or different types of editorial and non-editorial content and services.Building on previous studies that investigated online newspapers in individual countries in the late 1990s, this study describes in detail the front pages of 51 print and online newspapers in 14 European countries in 2003. We compare the types of content and editorial information offered in print and online newspapers and assess so-called Internet features. We attempt to construct a typology of onlin...

A pesquisa relata o uso de ferramentas para mediação de fontes de informação por bibliotecas universitárias nacionais e internacionais. O estudo foi de caráter exploratório e utilizou análise de conteúdo, com abordagem quantitativa e qualitativa, de websites de 24 bibliotecas selecionadas dentre as melhores universidades internacionais e nacionais segundo indicadores da Webometrics Ranking of World's Universities, World University Rankings 2011-2012 e Índice Geral de Cursos. Objetivou-se investigar e identificar tendências de aplicações de ferramentas para as atividades de mediação dos processos de acesso, busca e aprendizagem do uso de fontes de informação em bibliotecas universitárias. Os resultados apontam um panorama geral de como as bibliotecas universitárias estão realizando o processo de mediação de fontes de informação, especialmente em relação às bases de dados bibliográficas. Observou-se variações na escala de implementação dessas ferramentas entre as bibliotecas internacionais e as bibliotecas nacionais, bem como o destaque de algumas delas. Conclui-se que diante da disponibilidade e acessibilidade cada vez mais crescente das fontes de informação, torna-se necessário que estas sejam utilizadas de forma eficaz e eficiente. Neste contexto cabe ao bibliotecário refletir, selecionar e implementar ações e ferramentas mais viáveis à realidade de cada biblioteca, considerando as características específicas das gerações e categorias de usuários, a diversidade de tecnologias ofertadas a estes usuários e também aos não usuários, autonomia, estímulo e facilidades para o acesso, busca e uso das fontes de informação.

The exponential growth of thousands of online newspapers and millions of online news consumers is evidence that online news publications are a critical source of information. Online news sites have evolved over the past several years in content and form, and many have developed into serious publications incorporating innovative storytelling techniques and providing various methods of audience engagement. While research examining the evolving form of news online exists, very little is known about the audiences who visit the sites of these publications. How are online news audiences using interactive tools? How has the relationship between traditional information senders and receivers changed? This chapter surveys the major trends taking place in the world of online news publications and the latter's efforts to engage their audiences, as news organizations struggle to re‐evaluate their traditional roles and practices in the online climate. This chapter's discussion includes, as part of news production, the integration of interactive features, the emergence of blogs, citizen journalism, and other social tools such as Twitter and Delicious.
