Abstract
- The article highlights the role of the Internet in press freedom and how the press is being obliged to use script for reporting. Fact checking of news reports is hardly made by editors due to deadlines that must be met, but bloggers are able to detect mistakes, deception and manipulations produced through computer software like Photoshop. Bloggers are now encouraged to question the reporting style and decisions of the press as learned from the case about the reprinting of "Jyllands-Posten" cartoons on "The New York Times." Other issues discussed are the sharing of information from unapproved sites and topics and the role of citizen journalists.
