4th International Symposium on Online Journalism

Take a tour through the 2003 symposium to find out how online journalism trends and issues were addressed from a global perspective. Panelists came from the United States, Spain, Latin America, Asia and England to share their insight and experiences. Since the Internet bust, we are now in living in a post-bubble world. Has online journalism or any of the techniques changed as a result? What are the latest techniques and methods in digital storytelling? Are plasma screens and mobile devices the future for online journalism?
