“…Studies such as the one presented in this article investigate the formal attributes of online news and aim for a broad description of the medium in question. On a general level, content analyses of online news usually either compare online news outlets across a particular national market (Barnhurst, 2010;Boczkowski and de Santos, 2007;Chadwick, 2011;Dibean and Garrison, 2001;Greer and Mensing, 2006;Messner and DiStaso, 2008;Smyrnaios et al, 2010); compare print and online editions of newspapers (Engebretsen, 2006;Oblak, 2005;Song, 2007;van der Wurff, 2008); compare between countries (Dimitrova et al, 2005;Dimitrova and Connolly-Ahern, 2007;Elliott and Greer, 2010;Groshek, 2008;Karlsson, 2010;van der Wurff and Lauf, 2005); or focus on the development of online journalism by investigating the inclusion of citizen journalism (Carpenter, 2010;Choi, 2004), or user-generated content (Jö nsson and Ö rnebring, 2011;Ö rnebring, 2008) in mainstream online media.…”
