This research note reports the findings of two web-based surveys of online journalists, conducted in the Netherlands and Flanders in 1999 and 2001. By indicating their basic, occupational and professional characteristics, the survey results provide a profile of the online journalists working for Dutch and Flemish print, broadcast and online-only news websites. The results suggest that `technology-driven', `audience-oriented' and `service-minded' are three appropriate adjectives to describe the first generation of online journalists in the Low Countries.
