Interactivity is another characteristic of online journalism. E.g. Cool fm. You can chat with the presenters and other guest online.
Archiving ability, immediacy and non-linear structure is one of the distinctive features of the online medium. News websites contain archived material which is easily stored in the virtually limitless environment of the worldwide web. The consumption is also non linear.
The mode of online journalism is also non-linear. Information cannot merely be presented as a block of text where web-users must endlessly scroll down. Instead of this large block of writing, information is constructed into related components joined together. This enables web-users to view only the critical information or to also access background information and subsidiary details.
