Online journalism refers to the practice of reporting, writing, editing, and publishing news and information on the internet. It encompasses a wide range of content, from breaking news stories to in-depth features, and can be produced by traditional news organizations, freelance journalists, or citizen journalists. Online journalism offers numerous benefits, including the ability to reach a global audience, the flexibility to update stories in real-time, and the capacity to incorporate multimedia elements such as videos, images, and interactive graphics. However, it also poses challenges, such as the need to verify the accuracy of information and the threat of misinformation.
