2. Introduction of Cyber Journalism…..
• Journalism is any non-fiction or documentary narrative
that reports or analyzes facts and events firmly rooted in
time (either topical or historical) which are selected and
arranged by reporters, writers, and editors to tell a story
from particular point of view. Journalism has
traditionally been published in print, presented on film,
and broadcast on television and radio. "Online“ includes
many venues. Most prominent is the World Wide Web,
plus commercial online information services like
America Online. Simple Internet email also plays a big
role. Also important are CD-ROMs (often included with
a book) linked to a web site or other online venue, plus
intranets and private dial-up bulletin board systems.
• Cyber Journalism refers to news content produced or
distributed via internet particularly material created by
journalists who works for main stream market driven
news orgnizations.
• The definition of cyber journalist has gone beyond the
domain of journalistic education. Anybody who is
techno-savvy can be a cyber journalist. Hence, questions
of epistemology, professionalism, responsibility and
credibility have now become an epitome of cyber
journalism.

3. Features of Cyber/Online journalism
• Real time: News can be published in real time. Online Journalists can provide
updating breaking news and events as they happen.
• Shifted time: Contents published online can be archived
so that viewers can read them at a later time.
• Multimedia: Online Journalists can include images,
music, sound, video etc.
• Interactivity: Online Journalists can add hyperlinks
to their writings. These links relate their writings to
other contents related to their subjects.
• Readers or participants can respond instantly to
materials published by online journalists in the
form of email, comment, and threaded discussion.

4. On-line Technologies for Cyber Journalism
• News Aggregator
• Hyperlocal news sites
• Blogs
• Photoshop
• Web designing
• Layout designing

5. News Aggregator
• A news aggregator is "software that periodically reads a set of news
sources, in one of several XML-based formats, finds the new bits, and
displays them in reverse-chronological order
• How does a news aggregator work?
Every hour the aggregator reads the "feeds" you're subscribed to, as
few as a half-dozen, or as many as you like. When you see an item
that you want to amplify with your own comments, or pass on to
others in your organization or interest group, with a couple of clicks
you can "route" it to the home page of your weblog. Aggregators and
weblog software are flip-sides of the same idea. Weblogs are for
writing, aggregators for reading, and at the intersection is routing.

6. Hyperlocal news sites
• information gathering about a geographically-specific community that
is part or was once part of a broader coverage area or focus.
Features of Hyper local news sites
• Community voices
• Story submission page
• Fix-it callout
• Community calendar
• Donation page
• Social media
• Video
• Contact page
• Reader-submitted photos
• Aggregation

7. Blogs
• A blog (a truncation of the expression weblog) is a discussion or
informational site published on the World Wide Web and consisting of
discrete entries ("posts") typically displayed in reverse chronological
order (the most recent post appears first). Until 2009 blogs were
usually the work of a single individual occasionally of a small group,
and often covered a single subject. More recently "multi-author blogs"
(MABs) have developed, with posts written by large numbers of
authors and professionally edited. MABs from newspapers, other
media outlets, universities, think tanks, advocacy groups and similar
institutions account for an increasing quantity of blog traffic. The rise
of Twitter and other "microblogging" systems helps integrate MABs
and single-author blogs into societal newstreams. Blog can also be
used as a verb, meaning to maintain or add content to a blog.

8. Photoshop
• An image editing software developed and manufactured by
Adobe Systems Inc. Photoshop is considered one of the
leaders in photo editing software. The software allows users
to manipulate, crop, resize, and correct color on digital
photos. The software is particularly popular amongst
professional photographers and graphic designers.

9. Web designing
• Describes the tasks of designing HTML driven web
pages to be displayed over the World Wide Web. Web
design encompasses a number of important elements
including color, layout, and overall graphical
appearance. Web designers consider the site's
audience, function, and traffic to specific sections when
deciding designs. Web design has become a very
lucrative business as more and more companies create
websites.

10. Layout designing
• Master plan or blueprint of a printed or published work
(such as an advertisement, book, magazine, newspaper, or
website) that lays out the arrangement of its different
graphic elements (such as body copy, colors, headlines,
illustrations, scale). It establishes the overall appearance,
relative importance, and relationships between the graphic
elements to achieve a smooth flow of information (message)
and eye movement for maximum effectiveness or impact.
Often alternative layouts (called roughs) are prepared to
explore different arrangements before the final layout is
made for printing or production. See also page layout

11. Future of cyber journalism
• No one can deny that online reporting has opened a gate for new
technology and creative ways in which the world is changing at
a rapid pace and technology just keeps evolving. It’s a
continuous process of technology over mind and media literacy.
The more advancements that are being made, the more people
may struggle with having to learn to be tech-savvy. The growth
of technology is only going to change the face of journalism for
good. Cyber journalism is just another demonstration of how
news and journalism has given the internet/ new media a new
dimension.
