A textbook for Internet journalism has taken off across the online world – and is a course textbook for college and university journalism departments across the UK, US and Australia.
Journalism Online, by University of Central Lancashire’s Mike Ward, unravels the mysteries of writing for the Internet and can be used with the website www.journalismonline.co.uk.
Both the book and the website are receiving worldwide acclaim, having been reviewed or mentioned on Danish, Brazilian, Portuguese and German websites with a review expected from India later this month.
Journalism Online takes the best of the ‘new’ and ‘old’ media to provide an “essential primer” for the emerging discipline. It also provides a useful insight for non-news organisations into how to prepare and present effective web content and avoid the deepest pitfall of the online world – being ignored.
Readers and students can learn about:
