This thesis lays a foundation for understanding people's perceptions and engagement in news production, during a time of limited transparency about why, how and where information spreads online. Through creating, operating, and examining a news organisation purpose-built for this project, it was possible to describe critical gains and losses for the practice and business of doing news online. In interpretation, the dissertation documents a process of social capital being built among participants in the news operation, and posits that this will translate into a social infrastructure that can sustain such operations
