Out of the morgue: Online journalism meets e-politics
ø
The Project for Excellence in Journalism says top professional news
organizations didn’t
break much ground with online coverage of the first Democratic primaries. The report, How Online Campaign Coverage Has Changed in Four Years,
is a study of 10 “brand name” news sites. It found more
comparisons of candidates’ positions on issues this time, but less
original reporting and less use of interactivity than four years
ago…
I’ve just browsed the 31-page report and didn’t see
much
mention of weblogs or other Internet features of this year’s
campaign… but when I get back to read it all, I’ll add more about it
and links to “media reform” sites at my more
verbose “Other Journalism” blog… and/or the new Berkman Thursday Wiki page…
