News has been the staple of the print business for centuries...a far cry from the very first print press. Considering that the world-wide-web came alive, 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 do not need to spend one minute flicking through a newspaper, since the headlines in on the internet in addition to just a finger click away.
Some services even now provide audio news!
Such has been the story across the world that one wonders why it has taken so long for the world to latch to the brand new trend press wire. Never the less, it seems in a couple of years, or decades, particularly due to the 'save the forest' campaigns all over the planet, print press might be retired to the annals of history....fodder for historians and scholars...but little 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 regardless of this, as print industry leaders start the ball rolling to comprehend the significance of web-based presence for their brands. As they adopt more aggressive online marketing, pr and advertising approaches they'll adapt with the brand new trends and hopefully, carve out a brand new model for their flagships.
Having said that, it won't be considered 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 a nutshell citizen journalism. Iranians send images and videos across the worldwide web and gave access to millions who wanted to learn the thing that was happening in the 'now'...something the print media would have got round to after editors and journalist had polished off their articles, edited out any unfriendly footage and doctored a few of the material to put across 'the best message' ;.
The presence of bloggers also complicates things for the old model of doing things in the headlines industry. No more do people need to take what the editor and his sponsors want them to hear...no longer are people forced to hold back, and no further is the best to control information dissemination the only real privilege of ruling dictators and parties...anyone can be a newspaper, anyone can be a journalist, and anyone, can share his opinion.
