There is an interesting electronic journal called JIME, it has been implementing (since 1996) an open peer review online... you can think of several issues related to that: new forms of scholarly discourse and evaluation, traditional versus innovative practices, etc.

Its website: http://www-jime.open.ac.uk/

Hope that helps,

Hi Dave,

My Honours thesis revolves also around online journalism. I'd be interested
in the response you get as well. :o)

I haven't come across many books dealing directly with it but the aptly
named "Online Journalism:A Critical Primer" by Jim Hall (Pluto, 2001) was
helpful.

Also my supervisor directed me to this reading "Journalism Online: Exploring
the Impact of New Media on News and Society" by John V. Pavlik and Steven S.
Ross. This reading is a chapter from the book Understanding the Web: Social,
Political and Economic Dimensions of the Internet - Iowa State University
Press 2000 (Alan B. Albarran and David H. Goff eds)

Hope this helps.

Niki

Subject: [Air-l] Comparing print and online news readers
Reply-To: air-l at aoir.org

A colleague of mine is working on developing a new research project. She
was wondering if anyone on the AOIF listserv knows of any studies that
compare traditional newspaper readers with on-line newspaper readers.
(she's especially interested in focusing on their differences in
knowledge of local issues or interest in local issues.) I would
appreciate it if you could share any related information.

Thanks!
Janna
