Description

This book charts the growth of the Internet as a news medium across the Asia-Pacific region and identifies key themes in the development of online news environments in various countries of the region. It assesses useful resources for the news sector and also contextualises these themes in comparison to related developments in other parts of the world like the US, Europe and Latin America. The Internet and wireless technologies have impacted the new media sphere for news (or "newsphere") along the entire news value chain: news gathering, research, interviews, surveys, publishing, access, delivery, workflow, cost, pricing, financing, archiving, texture, associations, experience, instruction, ethics, legislation, and regulation. The media analysis used in this book is based on a framework developed by the author over the years, called the 8Cs of the Digital Economy: connectivity, content, community, commerce, capacity, culture, cooperation and capital. In other words, the power and success of the Internet and wireless media as a news platform depends on the size of the user base, nature of content services, interactive communities, sustainable business models, human resource capacity, progressive culture, cooperation between key sectors of society, and funding for entrepreneurs and startups in new media ventures.
