Abstract :
[en] With an ever-growing supply of online sources, information to produce news sto- ries seems to be one mouse click away. But in what way do Dutch journalists actual- ly use computer-aided research tools? This article provides an inventory of the ways journalists use digital (re)sources and explores the differences between experts and novices. We applied a combined methodological approach by conducting an ethno- graphic study as well as a survey. Results show that Dutch journalists use relatively few digital tools to find online information. However, journalists who can be conside- red experts in the field of information retrieval use a wider range of search engines and techniques, arrive quicker at the angle to their story, and are better at finding information related to this angle. This allows them to spend more time on writing their news story. Novices are more dependent on the information provided by others.
