Online News

These days, the vast majority of adults read news at least sometimes (see our survey results for details). The emergence of Online news has been driven by both economics and technology.Go here: ardentnews.co.kr
It’s difficult to put a finger on the exact nature of this phenomenon, but there is no question that it has changed how we receive our news and what form it takes. The most significant change has been the way that we read news, a process that continues to evolve and change as technologies grow more advanced and readers demand different options.
While the internet has made it possible to access news from virtually anywhere in the world, it’s also become a global marketplace where competing online outlets compete for viewers and advertising revenue. The result is a huge variety of options that can be overwhelming for many readers.
The Future of News: Predictions for Online Journalism in the Next Decade
Unlike newspapers, which use the inverted pyramid model to prioritize the most important information in a story, online news follows a more chronological approach that often obscures the broader picture. The story’s lead paragraph is typically the ‘what’, followed by the ‘who, where, why and when’.
Some online news sites feature stories from only one source, such as the Associated Press. This practice can create a feeling that there’s only one perspective on an issue. It also can muddy the distinction between hard news and features and can create the impression that the content is “canned.” A good place to test your understanding of news bias is AllSides, which rates stories as left-leaning, center or right-leaning.
