Overview of how media companies structures affect their online news strategies. Key elements include discussion of how newsrooms are adapting from "top down" to "we media".
The document discusses the early days of online news websites from the late 1970s to the early 1990s. It describes how early news websites mainly consisted of straight text with no graphics and were hosted on bulletin boards and forums. They required minimal investment and simply regurgitated print news content without dedicated online staffs. It provides examples of some of the first online news experiments like the Miami Herald's Viewtron service in 1984 and the Middlesex News launching the first internet-based newspaper in 1993.
New media allows for many-to-many communication rather than one-to-many broadcast media, transforming people from passive content consumers to active content producers. This has changed the way journalism is practiced, with information coming from citizen witnesses on the ground through social media platforms and smartphones. While this has democratized information and enabled reporting from closed countries, it also poses challenges like verifying accuracy and determining the veracity of stories amidst a torrent of information on digital platforms that are constantly evolving.
Journalism, like any other niche, has also been influenced by the Digital Media. The usage of digital technologies to research, produce and deliver (or make accessible) news and information is termed as Digital Journalism in simple.
This session sheds an average light on all the aspects of digital jounalism in today's digital context ranging from the theories to the legal issues so concerned.
This document provides facts about the evolution of communication technology and its impact on humans and society.

The document discusses the concept of crowdsourcing in journalism. It defines crowdsourcing as outsourcing tasks traditionally performed by employees to a large, undefined network of people. It describes three types of crowdsourcing: professionals who share their work, packagers who gather content from multiple sources, and tinkerers who solve problems. Real examples of crowdsourcing in journalism are provided, such as newspapers inviting readers to report voter issues. The benefits of crowdsourcing include gathering information quickly from many sources and engaging readers.
The document discusses the history and evolution of online journalism. It begins by defining cyber or digital journalism as the distribution of editorial content via the internet rather than print or broadcast. The first form of online journalism was teletext in the UK in 1970, which allowed viewers to choose stories to read immediately. Videotex systems later launched but closed down due to failing to meet user demand. Online journalism has benefits like low costs, fast publishing, and quick feedback. However, it also has limitations such as higher error margins due to less fact-checking, fewer gatekeepers to verify information, and lower quality editing compared to print publications.

Online journalism, strengths and weaknesses, citizen journalism, history of online journalism (including comprehensive history of online journalism in Nepal)
The document provides a detailed history of the development of online journalism from the 1960s to 2008. It describes the evolution from early concepts like hypertext and computer networks in the 1960s-1970s, to the emergence of closed online services and videotext in the 1980s. The development of the World Wide Web in the early 1990s and the first graphical web browser in 1993 fueled massive growth. Major events like the Oklahoma City bombing in 1995 demonstrated people turning to the internet for news. In the late 1990s and 2000s, blogging and citizen journalism grew in importance, challenging mainstream media. New models were sought as advertising revenue online did not replace print.
