"The impact of the internet on journalism takes a reflective turn. Not only has the internet changed journalism, it has forced people to rethink different aspects of journalism, journalism practices, journalism education and the way journalists have framed the discussions about this new medium.

The internet promises to have a larger impact on journalism than any of the changes in information and communication technology that have preceded it. Internet has emerged as a viable publishing medium; it offers journalists a new set of reporting skill; it has an impact on readers and the information to which they have access; and it has changed the way people think about issues related to journalism.

This book is an in-depth look at the way journalists used the internet and also have on journalism ethics." (jacket)
