As I develop my research project topic, I am keeping in mind the three questions that my project will explore—How is the role of news media changing with the rise of Internet-based publications?, What roles to weblogs and social networks play in spreading news events?, and How would newsrooms be affected if they charged for online content?
I have obtained some articles with a lot of good information about the changes newsrooms have had to make to their publications as using the Internet to obtain news becomes increasingly popular. I would like to find more articles about specific newspapers that publish online versions of their publications and the way in which they were and continue to be affected by the change.
I plan to examine a variety of blogs and the way in which they provide the news opposed to traditional news media.
I have a good article about the “New York Times” plan to charge for online content in January 2011 and the steps they are taking to do so. The article also briefly describes how the “Wall Street Journal” and “Newsday” charge for access to portions of their Web sites. I would like to find articles that concentrate specifically on how these publications have been affected by charging for their Web content.
I’m hoping to find several articles about research projects that are similar to mine. Therefore, I can use that information to support the points of my scholarly paper. Also, I would like to find articles with actual studies done on similar topics for additional important information to add to my research project.
