The document discusses how the internet has changed journalism and the consumption of news. It notes that ordinary people can now participate as citizen journalists by uploading photos and videos from events. Major news sites now get much of their web traffic from aggregating and linking to external blogs and websites.

The future of journalism lies in a more conversational model where readers engage in two-way interactions with both professional and citizen journalists online.
