As with so many other cultural texts including literature, advertising
and fine art, we can anticipate quite radical formal changes in
journalism. Web-natural forms of news will appear. The technology
of print encouraged the meaningful segmentation of information
into easily portable units, typically books, magazines and newspapers.
The web simultaneously reduces the size of communications,
most emails are substantially shorter than most other epistolary
forms, and increases it in the huge amounts of information
contained in distributed databases. These new textual forms,
including journalistic ones, some designed to interact with such
databases, are emerging as the first web-natural texts.
