13、rofessors at University of Alabama, Tuscaloosa believe. Ed Mullins, chairman of the Journalism Department, and Jim Stovall, the founder of Dateline Alabama, the news website of the College of Communication and Information Sciences, agree that the future of the web is still a mystery, but think that,
14、 in the near future, it will serve more as a helpmate to traditional media.“Nobody knows where the web is taking us, but when it comes to journalism, old media will be major players in the new media game，” Mullins believes. “A report goes that most Americans go to websites operated by old media when
15、 looking for news on the web.”Just as national old media control the web at that level, local old media run mainly by newspapers and, to a less degree, by television stations control those markets. Is there a pattern here? “Yes，” says Mullins and Stovall. “At least in the first decade of the web, ne
16、wspaper companies control web journalism，” Mullins explains. “Why? They specialise in news, and that gives them an advantage. What most readers go to websites for is news and email, a form of persontoperson news, especially in the form of chatting.”The reason for newspapers control in web journalism
17、, Stovall points out, is that they put the biggest money in news. “The Birmingham News, for example, with about 175 positions, has more journalists on its name lists than all of the states broadcast, TV stations, and web.”本文是一篇议论文。作者认为尽管网络改变了媒体世界，但是在不久的将来，它将作为一个帮手更好地服务于传统媒体。传统媒体并不会因为网络的出现而退出。1What d
