Review of Web Journalism: Practice and Promise of a New Medium, by James Glen StovallWeb journalism is more of a thoughtful critique of online publishing than a 'how to' training text. While it tackles the challenges posed by the Daily. Me syndrome, it also questions the ability of journalists to think afresh. Stovall argues that journalists are trained to think lineally and they mostly comfortable with inverted pyramid and other structures: 'It will take some time to reformulate their thinking' (p. 196).
