ABSTRACT

Newspapers and radio and television stations all have websites, and their journalists are expected to produce material across platforms, including social networks. Newspapers may still hold back a big story for next day's printed product, but no one can afford to be slow with breaking news online. Some publishers have set up websites reporting regional news across the catchment areas of a number of their newspapers, with no corresponding printed product. Reporters on weekly and provincial daily papers can expect to take their own still pictures for the printed newspaper while gathering and editing audio and video to illustrate the stories they write for the website. On the morning of the 1992 general election, the paper urged readers to vote for the Conservatives and reject the Labour leader Neil Kinnock.
