When news reports were first brought to television, they often consisted of an anchor at a desk simply "speaking" the news to the viewers. Now, television news has taken on its own format that's very different from the printed format -- events are relayed as they unfold, reporters are on site, etc.

So far, news on the Web hasn't matured in the same way. Most news is still delivered as straightforward text (newspaper model), or else video (television model).

What's an example of something that truly uses the Web medium? Here's a piece in which the (UK) Guardian uses Flash to show the history of the Arab-Isreali conflict: http://www.guardian.co.uk/flash/0,5860,720353,00.html
