How will the Internet change journalism? This is just one of many futuristic questions addressed in this insightful book. Professor Stovall tells us the relationship between source and audience has already changed in the web's first decade of wide spread diffusion. It will change more as the audience learns of additional options. The traditional paradigm of journalism consisted of an authoritative mass communicator who disseminated messages to the masses. Feedback was delayed. Arrogance was a consequence. With the advent of the Internet, journalism is more egalitarian. Journalists are more accountable, and interaction is immediate.Stovall's book is full of web sources, many of which are nontraditional. He introduced me to terms I had encountered for the first time. I not only learned the terms, but went to the web sites and engaged in the activities associated with them. To find our what they are read the book.
