When we talk about the digital journalist it is most often in the context of news reporting (because statistically most of our staff journalists are news people.
But in the back of my mind I often wonder where to begin in describing the role of the features editor in an online context.
Well, here is a good place to start. It's a Reuters online "feature" called "Bearing Witness" to mark five years of the war in Iraq.
It features a timeline, maps, photography and so on and while it's not unflawed (does the whole thing have to be in Flash? How irritating!) it's an excellent illustration of what a good online feature looks like (i.e. not 1,500 words with a few links thrown in).
Should we regulate digital communications and AI?

conflict between innovation and regulation, and why we need to intervene in
AI.
