Do you think online media has radicaly changed the relationship between news producers and news consumers? Why
I am an online news producer and can say there is little doubt that web is radically changing the relationship between news producers and news consumers. In fact, I would go to the extent to say that it is actually blurring the lines betweeen producers and consumers.





The fastest growing websites in the world are those were the content is user generated. Much of this content is actually top quality and breaking news...but not from a professional news organisation. The proliferation and ease of use of high-end cameras and camera phones has further blurred the divide.





Media has always been about one to many communication. But the web is changing that were the communiation has become many to many. In this scenario there is on one controller of news flow. What we are all becoming are platform providers.
