News on the web "has led to a shift in how we recontextualise news around a much larger search for information" (152) Para 7, Burnett and Marshall.
News is something the audience go to look for aboiut certain topics or relevant goings on that may be of interest.
Something the audience are wanting to gain more information about and they become thier own researchers.
But can they trust what they read online if it isnt broadcast on TV.
Burnett and Mashall discuss that news on the net is an "ongoing shift in the boundary of what constitutes newsmakers." (para 9) ....Therefore meaning is it anyone who puts news on the internet, is it then less valid?

It's a good question. Some return questions: "Why do some people think TV news is reliable?", "Why do we think it won't be relaible if it's on the net?" "Does having web-news mean we have to redefine what we mean when we talk about news?"
