a) The internet had a vast variety of writers and journalists, changing the conventions of news, and how we know it as a print or television broadcast. The internet takes away the high register that the news possess, due to the fact that pretty much anyone can write something online and publish it.
b) The internet has created a new place for anyone to have their say. Once again touching on the idea of the internet being seen as an "open architecture", pretty much anyone, qualified or unqualified can post and report their stories and images online, even if they don't have the authority to be delevering the news to us. People can become journalists to themselves.
