ABSTRACT
This chapter presents findings on how teletext and viewdata presently affect journalists and their work. In reviewing these results, the reader should remember that they are based mainly on the state of videotex technology in Great Britain and the Netherlands in the first half of 1981. There is nothing fixed or absolute about them; as videotex technologies develop and change, so too may some of these conclusions. Yet perhaps these findings will stimulate some re-evaluations of teletext and viewdata as journalistic media before the patterns become established.
