online publication

Web-based news source

An online publication is a periodical, book, or other written work distributed via the internet rather than in print.

The term covers digital newspapers, magazines, journals, and blogs: Several online publications covered the story before traditional media picked it up.

Academic journals increasingly exist as online publications, sometimes exclusively.
