Description:
Online news sites play an ever-pervasive role in the daily gathering and flow of political information. With the speed of information transmission, the segmentation of news sources, and the rise of citizen journalism, issues of authority, audience, and even the definition of 'news' have shifted and become blurred. 'News on the Internet' synthesizes research on developing and current patterns of online news provision with the literature on traditional, offline media to create a conceptual map for understanding the way that public affairs and news are presented and consumed on the internet.
