    Abstract
    The digital revolution represents an historic challenge to all information handlers who are likely to experience the rearrangement and redefintion of their roles and relationships. Discusses the threats, changes and challenges of the Internet to journalistic professionals, especially print journalists. These include: loss of monopoly in news production; loss of the exclusivity of news; loss of the need for news arbitrators, authorities and guardians; and the possibility that journalists may be peddling an obsolete product given that the younger generation do not regard newspapers as especially appealing. Discusses the implications of these facts for the information profession

    Abstract
    Virtually all UK and US newspapers and the vast majority of regional and even local titles are now represented on the web. Indeed, the Yahoo news and media directory lists no less than 114 UK newspapers online (as of November 1998). Broadcasters from the BBC and Sky downwards, and all the famous news agencies (Press Association, Reuters etc.) also boast comprehensive Internet services. With such an array of sources available, the future of mass access to the Internet, possibly via TV terminals, suggests that more and more people may soon opt for this medium to receive the bulk of their news information. This paper gives an overview of the characteristics of the medium illustrated with examples of how these are being used to both facilitate and enhance the content and dissemination of the news product. These characteristics include hyperlinking to external information sources, providing archive access to past reports, reader interactivity and other features not possible to incorporate into more passive media such as the hardcopy newspaper. From a survey of UK and US news providers it is clear that American newspapers are exploiting the advantages of web information dissemination to a far greater extent than their British counterparts, with the notable exception of The Electronic Telegraph. UK broadcasters, however, generally appear to have adapted better to the new medium, with the BBC rivaling CNN in its depth and extent of news coverage, use of links and other elements.

    Abstract
    Journalists were chosen for study because it was felt that they would be, as information seekers and packagers par excellence, in the advanced guard of Internet users and setting the pace. As it turned out this was not to be case. Despite what appear to be the considerable and direct benefits for them, after having interviewed approximately 150 journalists and observed the action in a variety of news rooms, it appears that less than one in five national journalist use the Internet and the proportion is much less than that for regional journalists. If this poor Internet take up in the workplace was unexpected, another surprise is the characteristics of those who have actually taken the Internet route. Far from being the stereotypical young and male, most are well practised journalist into their thirties/forties, which, of course, runs counter to all that we have been led to believe. Surprisingly, the study showed as much, if not more, interest in using the Internet from the supposedly `busy' senior managers and editors than in the rank and file.
