The Mutualisation of News

This article talks about citizen journalism and how readers are just as important as reader.
"Rusbridger now sees our journalists and readers as equal partners"

It also talks about how audiences are getting more involved due to things such as 'Comment is free',"which has completely changed the conventional model that a newspaper has a small core team of columnists filtering world events through only their eyes".

The article addresses the problem with news on social networking sites such as Twitter.
"Rusbridger believes new applications such as Twitter make it increasingly possible for individual journalists to publish outside the constraints of our newspaper and website and develop direct relationships with communities of readers".

"The web has led to a news community where ideas and news are shared rather than delivered".
This shows that audience themselves take part in news deliverance by sharing which shows that there is a lot of social interaction in the web based news.
