An example of internet newspaper & print newspaper

In this week’s blog, I will compare the different vision of print newspaper and internet newspaper and use New York Times as an example.
At beginning, you can see the picture of internet newspaper.

Through this picture, it can be found that print newspaper have some different layout. Also we can find some passages which we are interested in easily.
And in my opinion, the biggest feature of print newspaper is that it can help people raise a better reading habit. It means that you can read the news more carefully, as well as, you can highlight some important information and even do some clippings. Besides I think reading print newspaper can protect people’s eyesight.

However it can not be ignored that you need to pay for it.

The challenges to print newspaper

Recently, the speed of technology development is rapid, which brings many benefits to people’s daily life. However, the development brings some disadvantages to the print newspaper. In this week, I will introduce you the main challenges brought to newspaper industry.

Firstly, the appearance of radio posed the treat to the newspaper. People can know the news appeared all over the world through listening to the radio. It means that people can know the things happened around them without going out. So far, radio programs become more various such as radio plays or some radio interviews, which let us be close to things happening in the society more quickly.

Secondly, the birth of TV let people’s life become more colorful. Every day people can watch TV to get the news including national or international programming at the first time. In addition, live broadcast becomes another popular way for people to watch in their leisure time. For example, people in China can also watch rebroadcast of NBA which are playing in America. It is a big breakthrough which can not be imagined in the past time.




Last but no least, electronic online media brings more convenience to people’s life. To be more precise, people can know anything which is recorded in the internet. Besides, people can know the latest information whenever they want and wherever they are.
