Clarifying the types of online journalism

Abstract

This article aims to clarify well-known concepts in the digital press, particularly those that overlap and can cause confusion when used interchangeably. To achieve this objective, we reviewed specialized literature, aiming not only to define these concepts but also to categorize them.

In the first part of the article, we provide a brief overview of the emergence of the electronic press. We then detail the most common concepts. Finally, we present the context of the online press in Algeria, starting with its emergence and providing some examples.
