online news

Web-based current events

Online news is journalism delivered through the internet rather than print, broadcast, or cable.

It encompasses everything from digital versions of traditional newspapers to news websites, aggregators, and social media feeds.

Online news allows continuous updates and reader interaction but has disrupted traditional journalism's business model: I get all my news online now.
