Ya, how? On newspaper or online?
Ok, firstly newspaper delivers way too slate news in this future age where you are expected to know what is happening in the next 24 hours! Newspaper delivers what happened in the past 24 hours, today. The news which you would have already read ‘online’ ‘yesterday’!
Like the case you see in the image here, see how a stale headline hogged the entire page, but when you actually get this paper in the morning, you switch on your online avatar, you see a totally different outlook, either the entire news has changed or there is much more important stuff to be showcased than what was printed. The same publication house donned a different online picture in the morning, since as expected much more important news cropped up since the paper was published. So what purpose does this paper serve you?
If you are ‘even today’ totally dependent on ONLY newspaper, you are doomed!
I love my selection in Google Reader, I read what i want to read!
And twitter is the best way to get your dose of BREAKING news, it works faster than the regular media sources, without prejudice and from ground zero.
What do you prefer checking as soon as you get up? Your mobile, laptop or your newspaper? Honestly, if you do not check your emails, fb notifications and twits then you are not living in this age!
I guess for a more research oriented reading/ postmortem is what newspaper serves you.
Also, since you have seen all your lifetime parents, grandparents reading newspapers for hours in the morning with their hot cup of tea, you also tend to do so and like it, obviously.
But I guess things are changing in India and you will now have to pay for your news online and I am hoping then you will not wait for your newspaper copy to reach home every morning and ofcourse not PAY for it as well!!
Imagine how much paper it will save everyday! I have heard, The Times of India keeps 3 years paper stock with it all the time! Then imagine the number of newspapers circulating all across.
ending with this twit that I saw just now from @cyberjournalist
About 200 newspapers will have digital pay walls by next year!
