Online News Association |
Online journalism... Does it really exist? I mean, do we
really
prefer to read news online than watch them on TV? According to various
investigations most people suppose that online sources are more
informative, because as a rule, online journalists are just volunteers
and freelancers. In other words, they are not paid for their activity
and are able to express their own points of view.
Numerous blogs, forums and chats. All this is also the type of online
journalism, though at the beginning not everyone agreed with such a
statement. It should be noted that all online news writers, designers,
producers, editors and photographers have their own organization. The
Online News Association was founded in 1999 and now has more than 1,000
members. As I have already mentioned, it includes the people
who
produce news for the Internet as well as those who are just interested
in the field of online journalism.
Some people suppose that the journalism is like an art, others believe
that everyone needs to acquire special skills if she wants to become a
professional in this field. What is the difference between online and
TV news? Whether something new can be created. The Online News
Association tries to answer these questions and determine the most
interesting projects in this field. The Online Journalism Awards were
created in 2000 in order to find the best innovations in the field of
online journalism.
This organization holds the annual conferences, where everyone is able
to learn more about the gathering and producing of the news
for the
networking society. As for the usual people, we are able to get to know
about all the news via the Internet using personalized feeds and
readers, which offers us the interesting information from various
sites. It should be noted that the most popular aggregators are Google
News, Topix.net, mangrova.com, Newsfeedmaker.com, TheFreeLibrary.com
and many more. Just join them!
