Abstract

Computer-mediated communication (CMC) within the internet of things (IoT) environment has made it easy for people to interact with news in the world. CMC in journalism and development of online newspapers have replaced printed newspapers and have helped people access even the oldest form of news articles on the internet. This chapter includes a social approach to the development of online newspapers within IOT environment and discusses how CMC plays a significant role in online journalism. CMC in journalism enables the readers to comment their thoughts and views under the comments section provided for online newspapers. Communication within IOT environmental, online newspapers have three inherent characteristics. First, comments by online newspaper users in CMC are a prominent discursive genre. Second, CMC illustrates the potential effects of multimedia content and interactivity in online publications. Third, computer mediates the process of publishing, provision of access, and consumption of news in online newspapers. Each of the above factors play a significant role in constructing online newspapers, which impacts the future research on CMC’s potential use in developing online newspapers and mass communication. On the other hand, emerging issues of CMC within IOT environment are also discussed in this chapter, including the repercussions of increased anonymity of interlocutors, concerns regarding the CMC with respect to the territorial point of view, concerns related to media artifacts, and its social outcomes and mutual shaping of users and technologies.
