Today's session

Today, we're going to look at online research and reporting and then go back and look at some of the things we didn't manage to fit in last week - in particular writing online. I hope that this week we'll get a chance to talk about what the Web 2.0 is. Last week, I asked you all to try to do a bit of research on this.

First up, though, we'll talk about research and reporting online. The Online Journalism Review has a good basic introduction to this. It covers some of the more interesting new approaches to research/reporting online - approaches influenced by the Open Source movement and sites like the Wikipedia.

We might look at these later on but first we're going to think a bit about how the net can be used as part of a more tradtional approach to reporting.
