▶ Your Answer :
There is an opinion that due to the increasing fame of internet
based newspaper, most of people in the near future are likely to gain
information from newspaper. And it is quite convincing if we consider both a
great capability that the internet can provide and surging proportion of
internet based newspaper compared to off-line only newspapers.
However, we can also face the criticism on
this trend that there are great amount of other sources of information beyond
newspapers in the online world. Actually, alternative media like facebook,
twitter and youtube are providing bunch of information to us that old and
traditional information sources such as newspapers was not able to provide
based on a mutual interaction with the viewer and readers including off-bureaucratic
system. We can easily see that these media are having persuasive strong points
like faster reporting, guest friendly atmosphere, trendy.
But, the
fundamental ground that newspapers have been built will not perish at once. As I
mentioned above, we are living in a flood of information. Among waving
information, many people are gradually seeking the valuables without distortion
or off-standard. In this regard, a virtue that information providers are
required is professionalism. Thus, newspapers with neat and effective reporting
system holding highly trained professionals are expected to maintain their quality
which will make a difference from other media. Furthermore, major newspaper
companies in nowadays are moving fast to keep up with a trend by launching
on-line based service to hold its readers.
In conclusion, it is true that due to the
development of internet, a lot of new information sources were born. However,
newspapers holding its traditional professionalism in one hand and crunching an
internet to face a changing trend in another hand are expected to be a major
source of information to a lot of people as they were until now. |
