The convenience of having the news streamed directly onto your mobile or tablet device continues to be the driving force in the change from newspapers to online media. Before the development of online media, newspapers were only in paper form and had to be purchased for a small fee at local store. These days newspapers are being produced and distributed through various multi-media platforms (A, Greenhill, G, Graham 2013). The online media-platforms is converged and customised specifically for the reader (Deuze and Neuberger 2007). News sites can now publish breaking stories and can be seen instantly and updates can be known as soon as the story has new developments. According to online news: journalism and the internet the Oklahoma City bombing on 19th of April 2005 has been regarded as a moment in history where online media was used for the
The Internet has had a significant impact on newspapers. The development of online communication has led to important transformations at an organizational level, The internet has involved changes in access, production and circulation of information. These changes are distinguished by the speed with which news reaches the reader, the low cost of distributing information and the opportunity to establish more direct contact and interaction with it's users.

The case is important because it belongs in a very new category of journalism. Online journalism, which has been established with vast technological advancements, poses many different advantages and disadvantages
Modern technology has made a significant impact on many types of businesses. The ease of access to information through the internet utilizing devices such as smartphones, tablets, and computers has led many business to change or reinvent its marketing and sales structure in reaching out to potential customers. While this benefited many businesses, the digital age put lots of pressure on newspaper companies. Many people enjoys the benefit of receiving their newspapers digital which caused a significant reduction in the paper delivery of newspapers. In the article “How Internet Affects the Newspaper Business” by C. Taylor, the author mentions between 2001 and 2009, daily newspapers reduced overall newsroom staff by 25 percent. With labor
The internet is our modern source for news media; the importance of the newspaper has not only declined, it is in a sense, obsolete. We now turn to the internet for opinions, news, and entertainment. Even though the way in which we consume information (PBS) has changed, the importance of an unrestricted and watchful media has not changed. (Magleby, Light, & Nemacheck, 2010)
'News' is information about something that has happened or taken place. New things keep happening, and therefore the news keeps changing every hour, every day.
In the wave of information explosion appeared in 90’ last century, the channels to obtain information among people have apparently been diversified due to the rise of new media outlets through the medium of the Internet. Although some advantage of newspaper has been overshadowed by the excellent performance of new media, newspaper is actively adapting to social and economic transformation based on maintaining its existing advantages. For this reason, the essay will describe newspapers’ prospects and explore whether newspaper have been outdated in the globalised era.
Problem Statement: The advent of internet brought about both challenges and opportunities for the newspaper industry. On one hand, it required redesigning a new product suited for online customers and on the other it was an opportunity to reach to 123 million potential customers in this category. Thus to keep up with the pace of emerging digitization in every field, like all newspapers, New York Times also added online reading in their product portfolio. However it only worsened the crisis the newspaper was already going through. The operating profit declined by more than 76% from 234Mn$ in 2010 to a mere 57Mn$ in 2011. The circulations were steadily declining and the new online advertising could not compensate for print advertising
One central idea in this text was the decline in the number of people who read the newspaper. Finley states “The biggest decline occurred between October 2008 and March 2009, when the average sales declined 7.1 percent from the same time period a year earlier.” This statement shows how the numbers declined. Most people that are using the internet to get news do not understand how most of the information is not based on facts like the newspapers are. Newspaper base their information on the important and historical stuff that happens in the world, but the internet base their information on entertainment that attracts more teenage views. Most journalist try to attract the views of teenagers, but newspapers try not to focus on entertainment as much as the internet.
There is no doubt about it that the internet has revolutionized the world of media. Online media is an information based haven for news, entertainment and knowledge. Online media such as online magazines, marketing, news websites etc are changing greatly not simply as a result of technology alone, but also to meet the customer demands of “something new and improved”. Online media is trying to hold continuously the attention of viewers from anywhere and
In 2010 the ad revenue made by online news outlets surpassed that of print news, and this change is still gaining momentum, with some experts predicting that print media will cease to exist by 2050.
With the introduction of the internet news consumption and peoples news consumption has changed significantly, as well as the way in which news organizations provide content to the public. The author of this study seeks to investigate the consumption methods of individuals, and compare the rate at which news is collected through the traditional print-based medium, and also the new online format. In order to do this they use the incredibly popular CNN.com as well as www.nytimes.com and their print-based counter parts to investigate determinants of international news reporting.
The newspaper industry is undergoing a radical change in three primary areas caused by technology. First, the underlying two-sided business model is changing. With the Advent of internet, news content is easily and freely available from various sources but lacks quality journalism and credibility. Revenues from online advertising are not large enough to compensate for decline in revenues from print advertising & subscription. Newspaper industry is experiencing new realm of new content delivery and in process of understanding and establishing sustainable sources and
Since technology advances and the almost immediate access to news that printed newspapers need to balance their information in order to be successful. Having an online news page where readers can get access to information and a printed newspaper to get additional information regarding that news would be the only way for some newspapers to survive. There are some in older generations that do like the printed word and may not be as technologically savvy as the younger generations but even with TV news any news that happens one day is
This research has been conducted due to the fact that some researchers have claimed that “journalism is dying” whilst others have argued that “journalism is not dying but is simply evolving” (Blatchford: 2014). This has been a much contested debate triggered by the decline of news circulation from traditional news sources i.e. newspapers, television and radio together with the technological advances of the internet and social media (Cub Reporters: 2010). This has raised many questions and firstly, this dissertation will assess whether the rise of social media has led to the decline of news circulation from traditional news sources. Secondly, this paper will look at what the advantages and disadvantages of using social media as a news distributor are for professional journalists and the general public.
