What is online journalism? 9 Online Internet buy your jeans on the Web, you do not need a retail outlet (a twentieth-century totem to the world of atoms, if ever there was one). The manufacturer of the jeans can use e-commerce to purchase the raw materials direct from the supplier. Thus, the traditional wholesale distributor may not be needed – another atomic structure under threat. If this is the impact on the world of atoms, imagine the shock waves in the world of information. The banking and financial services sector is one part of this world and is currently being ravaged by the digital revolution. High Street branches are closing. Online banking is established and expanding. All the old certainties are evaporating. Journalism is another sector in the information world. Unsurprisingly, it too faces fundamental changes, as will be seen throughout this book. As Nicholas Negroponte (1996) puts it, ‘the change from atoms to bits is irrevocable and unstoppable’. And that was said five long years ago. This is a generic term often used loosely to describe digital information access, retrieval or dissemination. If you sit at home and access the Internet via your modem and telephone line, you are going ‘online’. Similarly, if a newspaper has a web site to complement its published paper editions, this is seen as an ‘online’ version of the paper. ‘Online’ is used in the title of this book because it has a conceptual value, referring to the philosophy underlying this form of journalism (e.g. the new thinking on the role of the reader) as well as a descriptive value for which a term such as ‘digital journalism’ would probably suffice. It covers research and reporting (access and retrieval) as well as publishing (dissemination) and is not restricted to the Web, as is explained below. The Internet is not just the World Wide Web. There has been confusion in the past between the Web and the Internet. They are not the same thing. At the risk of oversimplification, the Internet

The Web is the interface that allows people to exchange, data, text, pictures, graphics, audio and video on the Internet. There are other occupants of the Internet as well as the World Wide Web. The most well known is electronic mail or e-mail. The Web and e-mail are the two online applications that are currently having the most significant impact on journalism and this book will concentrate on them.
