Online story construction 147 Figure 5.4: The news consumer as news provider – Megastories from Out There News is constantly seeking content contributions from non-journalists, such as this farmer whom it equipped with a video camera during the 2001 foot and mouth outbreak in the UK. The most common expression of the three-way model is the newsgroup or message board. There are also the virtual communities, such as GeoCities or Fortune City. Here users share information and hear news without the input of the journalist, and not all of the material is lightweight.
148 Journalism Online Journalists may feel ‘out of the loop’, but they are not. As we saw in Chapter 3, newsgroups and message boards are a useful way of understanding users’ needs, interests and pre-occupations. They can provide story ideas and contacts. Journalists are still engaged in the process but they have become users as well as providers. This is an opportunity, not a threat. So, users can be providers, but can they be journalists? Where does self-indulgent sounding-off end and a new form of journalism begin? Are there any quality benchmarks and, if so, how can they operate? Steve Yelvington believes such a model can be self-correcting: Undoubtedly some bad work is going to be done by ‘untrained’ journalists. But bad work is done every day by trained journalists too. We rely on the marketplace to correct that. There is a marketplace for opinion and thought and that is what I see operating on the Internet. Yelvington cites Slashdot as an example of site users selfmoderating site content. Users will post corrections to previous contributions and grade each other’s submissions. If you end up with a score of zero, and users have set their filter at two and above, they may never even see your contribution. When the environment is open like that, it does tend to even out. If you look at the medium as just an extension of the classical open marketplace of ideas, I think it makes sense. If you look at the medium as an individual product, as the print world would tend to, then I can see that this seems like a frightening loss of control. But you never really had that control to begin with. You just thought you did. Such interaction, and the other distinctive features of online, will add yet more colours to the journalist’s palette when we turn our attention to the big picture – site design. However, first, because hypertext lies at the heart of the Web and because this book is all about removing unnecessary mystique, we will look at the wonderful world of HTML.
