Since there is no study available in current literature, which would reveal the role of internet in the lives of youth immigrants, this study tries to fill in part of the research gap. Interviews with adolescents who were born in the former Yugoslavia and who moved to Slovenia during their primary socialization, showed that the Internet allows bridging and bonding capital, social empowerment and the opportunity to experiment with identities due to a diverse cultural and linguistic offer, easy accessibility, interactivity and anonymity.

The study provides a historical inquiry into journalism-technology relations through social organization of newsroom arrangements in the last two decades. The study shows that journalism-internet relations developed through three phases: (1) from one-man bands where individual online staffers performed as multifunctional all-rounders having the technical tasks of shovelling print content online (mid- 1990s to early 2000s); (2) through organisationally and spatially separate online departments where standardisation of news-making routines was mainly defined by the principle of speed (mid-2000s to late 2000s); and (3) to newsroom integration with distinct models of decisionmaking, spatial organisation and print-online relations (late 2000s onwards)

Despite scholarly research inconsistencies in conceptualizations of hypertext,there seems to be a consensus among scholars from different epistemological grounds that hypertextuality as a communication potential refers to the interconnectivity and interlayering of textual parts in an extended nonlinear chain of integrated content that enables innovation in practices within the triad journalist-text-reader. However, within this rather large area of research, media and journalism scholars have paid minimal attention to hypertext as practice despite hypertext raising many questions regarding the processes and relations of news making. In this paper the author attempts to fill this research gap and to investigate how hypertext shapes different phases of online news making, that is, gathering, selecting, and assessing information, and how these processes influence journalist-source-audience relations.
