[POSTED TO ONLINE-NEWS WEB SITE BY RBerkman@aol.com]

For a thesis project, I'd be interested in hearing whether (and how) any online
journalists are finding the medium as to how it either advances or
retards the goal of public journalism and connecting to the community.

I'd be particularly interested in hearing from anyone who has found
techniques whereby the inherent characteristics of this medium
(connectivity, interactivity, multimedia) can be used to connect 
people and make the newspaper more an integral part of the community.
I'd also be interested in hearing from any who have comments on how
this medium may be changing the role of the journalist from that of
a "source" of knowledge to one who "merely"(?) *facilitates* access
to information.

Thanks!
