Product Description
Review
"If you're often required to feed your company's Web site and not just its news pages or airwaves, or if you are working full-time on Web news sites - or hoping to start a new online career - use this book as your basic bible."
Julian Sher, the creator and web master of Journalism Net (www.journalismnet.com)
"The best guide to getting started in online journalism."
Jyothi Kiran, The Hoot (www.thehoot.org)
"I have been evaluating textbooks about online journalism for three years now, and this is the first really good one I have found."
Mindy McAdams, Professor and Knight Chair in Journalism, University of Florida
"Each chapter attempts to demystify the subject matter before going on to offer concrete pointers, often using published examples... Nuggets are spread throughout the book, building the confidence of the reader and putting the so-called gurus in their place... The book as a whole should be made to feel as welcome in a steamy newsroom as a university library."
DotJournalism (www.journalism.co.uk)
"Ward's years in teaching come into play in the meticulous care he takes in introducing new ideas and clarifying new terms."
Saif Shahin, British Journalism Review
"In the depth of its content, style of presentation and the utility and timeliness of its subject matter, it is a lot more than a training manual for would-be online journalists."
Saif Shahin, in the British Journalism Review
"Great book for beginners - and I think a few not-so-beginners might learn a trick or two as well. Students would do well to add it to their reading list."

Product Description
Journalism Online tackles the pressing question of how to apply fundamental journalism skills to the online medium. It provides an essential guide to the Internet as a research and publishing tool. In particular, it examines how to forge key journalism skills with the distinctive qualities of the World Wide Web to provide compelling web content.
Trainee and practicing online journalists will learn:
- core journalism skills of identifying, collecting, selecting and presenting news and information;
- multimedia skills such as audio recording and editing;
- online research methods including use of search tools, newsgroups and listservs;
- story construction and writing for the Web;
- an introduction to HTML;
- web site design for the effective use of content.
Journalism Online takes the best of the 'new' and 'old' media to provide an essential primer for this emerging discipline. Leading web designers such as Jakob Nielsen rub shoulders with established journalists like Harold Evans in the search for clear guidance in this rapidly developing field. 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.
Supplementary resources can be found on the book's supporting web site www.journalismonline.co.uk, which features additional exercises, useful links and reviews.
* Learn how to apply your journalism skills to the web
* Master the entire process - from computer assisted reporting to writing HTML
* Keep on top of the latest techniques with the accompanying website

5.0 out of 5 stars
Book Seller,
By Ken 'White Knight' (Lancashire, England) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Journalism Online (Paperback)
This book 'Journalism Online' was purchased for use by my granddaughter to help her through university, so I cannot really comment on the book itself, except to say that it arrived in superb condition and extremely well packed. There was an unexpected delay in its delivery which caused us to think it was lost in the mail service. I contacted the seller, 'woodys' through amazon-uk and an immediate refund was made. Fortunately,(and embarassingly for myself) the book did finally arrive after a refund had been authorised, so I asked amazon-uk to recharge my account on behalf of 'woodys', who I would gladly purchase from again. They, ('woodys') cannot do enough for their customers. They replied to my e-mail queries by return and I have found them to be one of the most helpful, trustworthy sellers I have had the pleasure to deal with. For me, 'woodys' come highly recommended and I gave them Five Stars. I would gladly give ten stars if that was possible. I must point out that the delay in delivery was no fault of 'woodys'.
