There is a growing awareness that information-driven technologies are reshaping relations of time, space and place in today's 'network society'. An insufficient attention has been devoted to investigating online news in these contexts, however, especially with regard to its impact on the wider role of journalism in public life. Accordingly, this project focusing on the evolving forms, practices and epistemologies of online news (in historical terms, as well as the respect to event such as 9/11 and the Iraq war). It examines major news websites, as well as alternative, citizen-based forms of reporting. The project's outcome will be an authored book.
