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 alive, the dead knell of the newspaper industry was pretty much 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' in their development.
Today, one need not spend a minute flicking via a newspaper, since the news headlines in on the internet as well as just a finger click away.
Some services nevertheless provide audio news!
Such has been the story across the planet that certain wonders why it has taken so really miss the planet to latch to the newest trend press wire. Never the less, this indicates in a few years, or decades, particularly because of the 'save the forest' campaigns all over the planet, print press may be retired to the annals of history....fodder for historians and scholars...but little more.
In its place, an easier, quicker, simpler, and more accessible and free system of consumption: online newspapers!
The near future is not totally grim in spite of this, as print industry leaders start the ball rolling to appreciate the significance of web-based presence for their brands. As they adopt more aggressive online marketing, pr and advertising approaches they will adapt with the newest trends and hopefully, carve out a brand new model for their flagships.
That said, 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 contemporary phenomenon...citizen contribution in journalism, or simply speaking citizen journalism. Iranians send images and videos over the worldwide web and gave access to millions who wanted to know what 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 number of the material to place across 'the best message' ;.
The current presence of bloggers also complicates things for the old style of doing things in the news 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 regulate information dissemination the only real privilege of ruling dictators and parties...anyone could be a newspaper, anyone could be a journalist, and anyone, can share his opinion.
