Online News Producers’ Perceptions of Interactivity and Uses of Interactive Features

Deborah Soun Chung

University of Kentucky, USA

Interviews with website producers nominated for the Online Journalism Awards explored their perceptions of interactivity and reasons for adopting or not adopting interactive features that facilitate interpersonal communication. Findings reveal that site producers show interest but are experiencing problems with incorporating such interactive features online and are therefore cautious about implementing them. The evidence suggests that journalists are undergoing an uncomfortable transition migrating online and are unlikely to fully adopt interpersonal interactive features onto their websites.

Key Words: interactivity • interpersonal communication • online journalism • participatory journalism • producer perceptions
