I do think that the internet can create and form new media institutions, as the internet is a place where everyone is pretty much equal. Theres no real sense of hierarchy or people being above each other. There is no limitations to who can post online, it doesn't matter how clever you are, what qualifications or grades you have, the internet is available for anyone to fill with their personal opinions and stories.

I don't think news can be completely open. Its virtually impossible for all sides of the story to be covered in one report, so a level of bias and person opinion of course will come into it. Different companies broadcast and report on stories in completely different manners, so I don't think the news can ever be 100% open.
