Web documentaries

This is the first message in this project to capture the experiences of myself and my students in creating a Web Documentary about the Tower District in Fresno, California.

Part of our task in this project is to explore the idea of a Web Documentary. How is it similar and how is it different from a film/video documentary? I found an interesting research paper that looked at this comparison, "Influences of...Documentary Cinema...on the Internet", at http://www.archimuse.com/mw2004/papers/hosseini/hosseini.html.
