Online Newspapers Vs. Print Newspapers

Online newspapers have both, advantages and disadvantages over print newspapers. Below are some key points.
An advantage of online newspapers over print newspapers is that with online, the news stories are updated by the minute, which gives the reader a constant reminder of what is going on. Whereas, print newspapers are a physical copy, where the reader does not get the latest news on what is going on - they receive yesterday's news. But with this, it means that the online newspapers could have errors included, publishers will want to send out the news story as quick as possible, thus, the stories may not be correct, as well as not as high quality written, where it would be in the print newspapers. Plus, people like to have a physical copy of the newspaper instead of just viewing online.

However, a disadvantage of online newspapers is that the reader will need access to the internet to be able to access the website/news. This means that where ever you are, to read the news you will need a stable connection and a device. But in my opinion, in today' modern world, most people have access to a device, of some sort and internet. So, this isn't a major disadvantage.

Another advantage of online newspaper is that more images are used. This is because there is unlimited space, therefore, as much as wanted can be added. Also, videos can be included. These are impossible to have in a print newspapers, so readers may become more intrigued into watching and viewing more images/videos instead of reading a whole passive of writing - However, I do believe it depends because different people will access news differently, either online or print. For example, older people may tend to read print version because they are use to it, but the younger generation who were brought up with technology might decide to view news online.

A disadvantage of an online newspaper is that there is too much information on a single news story. For example, for one story there is detailed content about that specific story. But also, there are image, videos, interviews etc. The amount of information often looks cramped and quite dense. This will put readers off. They would rather skim read a print newspaper copy, where there is clear important details, instead of every single event that took place.
