“…Both the theoretical framework and the existing tradition of research inside newsrooms (Tuchman, 2002) recommend ethnography as an adequate method to address this object of study. While there is scarce ethnographic research on US online newsrooms (Singer, 1997; Martin, 1998; Boczkowski, 2004b, c), fewer studies have been published to date analyzing European cases (Eriksen and Ihlström, 2000; Paterson and Domingo, in press). This article contributes to fill in this void and aims to encourage other researchers to pursue its approach, as it helps in tracing the diversity and commonalities in the development of the Internet as a news medium.…”

This article analyzes interactivity in online journalism as a powerful myth with which journalists have to deal in their daily work. A constructivist approach to media innovation is used to explore the historical origins of the myth that predicted interactivity would change journalism and to confront it with the actual practices of online media projects through published empirical research and four case studies selected from an average European regional market. The analysis of the cases is based on ethnography of online newsrooms working routines and in-depth interviews with reporters, editors and web developers. The actual role of the myth of interactivity in shaping the development of these four online news projects is discussed taking into account the material and organizational context of the newsrooms. Findings suggest that the professional culture of traditional journalism has a strong inertia in the online newsrooms that prevents them from developing most of the ideals of interactivity, as they do not fit in the standardized news production routines.

“…More complex lines of research deal with new media either as "genres" (Eriksen & Ihlström, 2000) or adopt a comparative approach based on multiple categories. Baym (2010) has proposed a conceptual framework based on seven dimensions that can be used to categorise media: interactivity, which indicates different levels of social interactivity enabled by different communicative platforms; temporal structure, which reflects upon asynchronous and synchronous practices and real-time features; social cues, which examines context richness (e.g.…”

While utilisation of electronic social media is increasingly relevant as tourism practices, there is still a deficiency of empirical research on tourists' creation and use of various types of online content. This study maps and explores Scandinavian tourists' perceptions of Web 1.0 and Web 2.0 information sources and scrutinises influence of electronic social media on holidaymakers' information sharing, based on a summer season survey in the mature and well-known destination of Mallorca, Spain. Empirical evidence is presented on perceived trustworthiness of social media platforms and other Internet-based information. The study also examines tourists' involvement in developing and sharing of virtual content. It critically analyses technological mediation through electronic wordof-mouth and involvement factors related to virtual dissemination of travel narratives. Moreover, the paper discusses information intensity, hedonic aspects and utilitarian values of tourist information in relation to interaction aspects of social media, in a context of holiday choices and online booking.

“…One such insight is that there appears to be a trend over time for web genres to shift along a continuum from reproduced to adapted to emergent, with the seemingly paradoxical effect that as genres age, they move along the continuum in the direction of "emergence". An example is online news sites, which tended to be reproduced from print newspapers in the early days but have become increasingly adapted to the web with the inclusion of user comments, multimedia, hyperlinks, and other interactivity and navigation features (Eriksen and Ihlström 2000). Similarly, the social network site Facebook initially combined the format of "face books" from Harvard University dormitories with web-based features such as commenting (Wikipedia 2011c) and was thus adapted, but over time it has added and combined so many features (including embedded graphics, games, polls, and various modes of CMC) that it can now arguably be considered emergent.…”

Estrategias de intensificación en los comentarios digitales sobre noticias en español

El objetivo de este estudio es identificar la variación cuando se utilizan mecanismos de intensificación en los comentarios en español sobre las noticias digitales que publican dos periódicos: El País (España) y Emol (Chile), y en dos ámbitos temáticos diferentes: la política y los deportes. Para lograr este objetivo, se analizó un corpus compuesto de 2,400 comentarios con la herramienta para el análisis de corpus UAM Corpus Tool. Los resultados obtenidos señalan que, por un lado, los comentarios de los escritores españoles correspondientes al diario El País presentan una mayor cantidad de intensificadores que aquellos escritos en Emol. Por otro lado, se detectó que el ámbito temático no influye de forma determinante en la frecuencia de los intensificadores en ambos sub-corpus. Por último, se distingue la presencia de estrategias relacionadas con el español coloquial conversacional como, por ejemplo, la personalización mediante yo y tú.
