Summary
The key infrastructure for governance and a well-operating polity can be provided by the media, as they could effectively provide information to the targets. As stated by Alsem et al (2008), they won’t stop with informing the news to the viewers. They will “create” or “describe” the news. Still researchers could not identify a valid business model for online news even after sixteen years of study (Gill, 2011). They could find out the factors motivating the users to choose online news resources and the way through which the online resources fulfil the expectations of the readers.
