Online Journalism is revolutionising the way news is reported and read. The rise of the internet has forever changed the way audiences interact with the news – stories are posted the moment they break and readers routinely expect to be able to access both the news sources and local perspectives. Online news and the pattern of media ownership raise a number of urgent questions about accuracy, press autonomy, freedom of speech and economic exclusion. Jim Hall provides a comprehensive guide to the emerging field of cyberjournalism and examines the issues it raises. Looking at how interactive texts are both written and read, the book surveys the new technologies and conventions that online journalism has ushered in. The author uses case studies such as Monicagate and the war in Kosovo to illustrate both the opportunities and the limitations of cyberjournalism.It is designed as a text to introduce how cyberjournalism works and how it can be used in innovative ways.

5.0 out of 5 stars
A tangible approach to Online Journalism,
By Jairo Lugo (Liverpool John Moores University) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Online Journalism: A Critical Primer (Paperback)
Jim Hall has provided us with one of the finest analyses of the implication of the Internet for journalistic practices. After reading several books labelled under the this same subject, I was feeling very frustrated to find out that many of them were only re-packaged manuals of web design, that made few notes for journalist. Jim Hall's "Online Journalism" is a promising exception that will surely become a classic on the subject. As a journalist myself who has practiced in all media, including electronic versions and new media, I find Hall's book profoundly inspiring and deeply evocative. The book provides a holistic and critical view of the issue; he studies explores examples from all over the world and provides an impressive amount of evidence to sustain his arguments. Hall has accomplished a complete exploration, description and analysis that is sure to become a valuable reference tool and will provide a solid foundation for those interested in the subject.
