News has been the staple of the print business for centuries...a far cry from the first print press. Because the world-wide-web came to life, the dead knell of the newspaper industry was virtually 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, a natural 'next-step' inside their development.
Today, one need not spend a minute flicking by way of a newspaper, since the news in on the net along with just a hand click away.
Some services nevertheless provide audio news!
Such has been the story across the entire world any particular one wonders why it has taken so miss the entire world to latch on to the brand new trend press wire. Never the less, it appears in a few years, or decades, particularly due to the 'save the forest' campaigns throughout the planet, print press may be retired to the annals of history....fodder for historians and scholars...but not much more.
In its place, a much easier, quicker, simpler, and more accessible and free system of consumption: online newspapers!
The long run is not totally grim notwithstanding this, as print industry leaders start the ball rolling to appreciate the significance of web-based presence because of their brands. Because they adopt more aggressive online marketing, pr and advertising approaches they'll adapt with the brand new trends and hopefully, carve out a fresh model because of their flagships.
Having said that, it won't be described as 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 short citizen journalism. Iranians send images and videos over the worldwide web and gave usage of millions who wanted to know that which 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 right message' ;.
The current presence of bloggers also complicates things for the old style of doing things in the news industry. No more do people need to take what the editor and his sponsors want them to hear...no longer are people forced to attend, and no longer is the right to regulate information dissemination the only real privilege of ruling dictators and parties...anyone can be quite a newspaper, anyone can be quite a journalist, and anyone, can share his opinion.
