Things to think about. Meikle
a) para. 7-9 What do you think constitutes ‘news’ on the Web?
b) Para 9 Are there ‘new kinds of journalist’ online? If so, how so?
c) Paras 14-15 Are those who want to make DIY news online, best thought of as part of an alternative culture (that also exists offline) or is it more diverse than that? Think of examples beyond Indymedia.
d) Para 18 Is open news quality news?
e) Para 19 Can open news ever be completely open? Do people take different (possibly unequal) roles in collaboration?
f) What do you think of the overall claim that ‘the Net could facilitate new types of media institution’?
