Online Journalism: Principles and Practices of News for the Web will help students apply developing journalistic skills to the Internet. The book reviews basic principles of journalism (such as objectivity, fairness and accuracy) while showing readers how to put these principles into practice online. The book—a comprehensive, up-to-date look at the most relevant skills and issues in this field—presents a combination of broad conventions, basic technological information and practical applications. The author shows how the Internet can be used to take journalism in new, more participatory directions. He reminds his readers that technology will be increasingly important in the future and that Web operations will be an integral part of the newsgathering operation, but that journalistic principles and skills will still be at the core of what journalists do.
