James Foust - Online journalism

5 point model
  1. Fairness - unbiased (Blogs can flow on a more free form ideal, opinion and unconstrained)
  2. Attributes - gives authority to the story, source your research
  3. Relevance - its importance to the audience, why is the story important?
  4. Accuracy - getting facts right [Journolist: site for checking accuracy of websites]
  5. Newness - new angle, fresh information
  • Audience control - power to choose the info they want
  • None linearity - don't have to follow a set order
  • Storage - back issues, stores info over the Internet
  • Unlimited space  - not restricted to space limits of print
  • Immediacy - news can be published straight away
  • Tri media - links and podcasts can offer a new medium
  • Activity - chats and forums allow a greater level of audience participation
