Introduction Getting up to date news or information was conventionally simple and some common routines such as picking up the morning paper, turning into a local station when commuting, and catching up the evening news before dinner had to be performed on a regular basis. However, the arrival of internet news has overwhelmingly widened our choices in such routines with thousands of websites ranging from companies posting their press releases to folks conveying the latest political anecdotes, now offer news online (Sheldrake, 2011, 8). Traditional media have now expanded their contents and have joined in the ‘on-line bandwagon’ in order to give the public an electronic, moving away from ‘hard’ news contents.
