News has been the staple of the print business for centuries...a far cry from the initial print press. Considering that the world-wide-web came to life, the dead knell of the newspaper industry was more or less announced.
Topix and Bing, and other search engines were first to mark their territory and carve out a share...and soon they stepped into news aggregation, an all natural 'next-step' in their development.
Today, one need not spend a minute flicking by way of a newspaper, since the headlines in on the web as well as just a hand click away.
Some services even now provide audio news!
Such has been the story across the entire world any particular one wonders why it has brought so really miss the entire world to latch to the newest trend press wire. Never the less, this indicates in many years, or decades, particularly due to the 'save the forest' campaigns all over the planet, print press might be retired to the annals of history....fodder for historians and scholars...but very little more.
In its place, a much easier, quicker, simpler, and more accessible and free system of consumption: online newspapers!
The near future isn't totally grim regardless of this, as print industry leaders start the ball rolling to appreciate the significance of web-based presence because of their brands. While they adopt more aggressive online marketing, pr and advertising approaches they'll adapt with the newest trends and hopefully, carve out a brand new model because of their flagships.
Having said that, it won't be considered a monopoly on information ever again. What with the bloggers and citizen reporting taking root. The Iran elections to the fore a modern phenomenon...citizen contribution in journalism, or in a nutshell citizen journalism. Iranians send images and videos over the worldwide web and gave use of millions who wanted to understand what was happening in the 'now'...something the print media would have round to after editors and journalist had polished off their articles, edited out any unfriendly footage and doctored a few of the material to place across 'the best message' ;.
The presence of bloggers also complicates things for the old type of doing things in the headlines industry. No more do people have to take what the editor and his sponsors want them to hear...no longer are people forced to wait, and no more is the best to manage information dissemination the only real privilege of ruling dictators and parties...anyone could be a newspaper, anyone could be a journalist, and anyone, can share his opinion.
