Abstract:
|
In this paper we examine factors shaping the editorial practices through which online news and information sites realize the interactive potentials of the World Wide Web. We look at one type of interactivity, user-authorship of content appearing on news? web sites, and concentrate on two factors shaping this type of interactivity: the production context in which user-authoring features are built and their content hosted, and the user constituencies to which these features are aimed. We study the effect that variations in these two factors have had in two prominent manifestations of user-authorship in online news, New Jersey Online?s Community Connection and Slashdot.org. We find that while both sites enable user-driven information construction, the modes of user-authorship that materialized on each site differed considerably, partly as a result of variations in production contexts and user constituencies. |
