Journalism has travelled a long distance through print, radio and television. Its latest incarnation called Internet or Online Journalism is not only paperless but also instant. It has provided a golden opportunity to those who are yet to enter the profession as well as those who have retired after a long and distinguished career. One can gather information from websites, send ideas to the editors, get their approval, send the finished product through e-mail and even receive money by the return e-mail. Those who are a little more enterprising, can set up their own websites and convert it into newspapers attracting both advertisers and subscribers. The world of three Ws (www) is literally a world wise web that doesn’t leave its catches easily. This book is aimed at widening this intellectual net by providing theoretical insight and practical inputs.
