News May Be Distorted And Debased On The Internet
-------------------------------------------------
     Though the Internet and other online media may offer new
avenues for talented journalists and publishers, they have also led
to "distortion and debasement of the concept of news." Gossip,
rumour, uninformed speculation, conspiracy theories, press
releases, and other public relations materials often make up a lot
of what passes as "news" online. The usual standards of accuracy,
fairness, and intelligent writing should be adhered to for online
news just as they are for traditional news.
                               (Wall Street Journal; June 22, 1995)
