very good !

IMHO the most important points are

- reading on web is slower than reading from paper (patience is lower)

- it's active ("lean forward" not "lean back")

- visual (bcos paper ain't free, limiting pix in paper editions, but for 
  the web, you always have a surplus of photos but not a surplus of text)

this definitely creates opportunities for new types of writing and reporting.

it makes navigation very important; you wan tto click around an interesting 
site, but as soon as it sucks you're outa there !

hey japi, as far as you know, ...

- when individual journalists and writers get web-based feedback, 
  are they pretty good about actually reading it and acting on it ?

- do they get any story ideas from web feedback ?

- how enthusiastic are writers about getting multimedia to accompany 
  their articles ?  are they able to explain their wants and needs to
  the multimedia guys ?

- have writers expressed interest in online chats ?
