Jim Hall has provided us with one of the finest analyses of the implication of the Internet for journalistic practices. After reading several books labelled under the this same subject, I was feeling very frustrated to find out that many of them were only re-packaged manuals of web design, that made few notes for journalist. Jim Hall's "Online Journalism" is a promising exception that will surely become a classic on the subject. As a journalist myself who has practiced in all media, including electronic versions and new media, I find Hall's book profoundly inspiring and deeply evocative. The book provides a holistic and critical view of the issue; he studies explores examples from all over the world and provides an impressive amount of evidence to sustain his arguments. Hall has accomplished a complete exploration, description and analysis that is sure to become a valuable reference tool and will provide a solid foundation for those interested in the subject.
