ews is a conversation between the public and the journalist.
Journalism's paradigm shift involves the Internet, not only in diverse forms of content but in the methods used to connect to people. The Internet is more than a repository for stories or place to view videos and listen to sound. It is an instant technology that should be used to engage readers at a higher level.
