The AUSC Annenberg Online Journalism Review is an interesting website in that it focuses on the media and the actions and performance of online media outlets.
Take, for example, a piece about the latest debate between Barrack Obama and Hillary Clinton. The traditional media were accused and most specifically ABC who hosted the debate, of asking easy questions and indulging in gossip and trivialities.
In this discussion of the media, there is a poll which asks the question; who is providing better coverage of the race for democratic nomination, Newspaper and Television of Online Outlets? At the moment, online is winning by a cleear margin. This highlights the benefits of the interactivity provided by online journalism.
It provides an arena to question the media through media-related mediums and to offer the opportunity for people to have a say through voting and commenting on what they think is important.
