Abstract
Newspaper readers increasingly have the possibility to participate in the newsmaking process due to computer mediated communication, either as contentproviders (commentaries, reader reporter, SMS or online surveys) or as contentevaluators or disseminators (recommending, linking, sending). This articleexplores in which forms this participation can be realized in the case of onlinenewspapers, and it makes a distinction between different medial-technical variantsof newspapers (online edition, tablet, smartphone); in addition single possibilitiesof participation are analyzed in more detail. The article also asks what is the statusof these new possibilities of participation: Are they part of ‘real’ citizenjournalism, democratizing journalism? Or as means for newspaper to producecheap content?
