Online news archives and presence
as transportation

 Presence (Lombard and Ditton, 1997) provides an
explanation of six modes of media engagement effects.
 Presence as transportation best explains the use of
Web 2.0 technologies such as streaming and sharing
video to interact with online news archives.
 “You are there” – taking the viewer back in time to the
event being reported.
 “It is here” – taking the content forward in time to
audiences not included in the content’s original purpose
as news.
