Enchanted Forrest : Research in the Computer-Assisted Journalism

Internet is the most huge and arguably the most important library in the world. It has become so easy to approach that even the least technically oriented journalist should have no trouble navigating it – but the simple surfing is still far from using the Net for a journalist’ s professional sake. It is essential for the journalist to become well-acquainted with the Internet. There is simply too much to list. The journalist has to develop a technique for quick and efficient orientation in the Net’ s space, easily transformable in a bewitched forrest of redundant or useless informations. Creating and managing the personal data bases (including Bookmarks or Preferences) ; using the search engins ; applicating agents, filters, Boolean operators, or simply keywords – those are some of the indispensable "tricks" for any contemporary journalist wishing to use the Internet for professional purposes.
