Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Online journalists have to work faster, but the information must be just as accurate and true as the facts reported in printed newspapers. In the past, gathering and verifying information meant a great deal more work for journalists. Today, this information is simply sourced via the internet. Those responsible are contacted by email. This ensures a faster exchange of information, and current events can be made available to readers ever sooner, with a higher level of expert knowledge. But to what extent can journalistic quality standards still be upheld amidst these ever-changing conditions? Has 'gatekeeping' become 'gatewatching' today? How many articles are actually written by online journalists themselves, and how many published articles are simply reposted press releases? Can online journalists still call themselves journalists today, or have they become news managers who filter and copy texts only to post them online?
