First draft essay



paper news won't disappear despite the Internet news has invaded the domain of paper news.

 
In 2008, according to the Pew Research Center for the People & the Press, the rates of getting information through the Internet news surpassed the rates of getting information through the paper news and this social phenomenon still continues. The dissemination of mobile phone and development of the Internet also contributes to subscribing Internet news compared to paper news. Many people think that paper news will disappear because the Internet news is evolving more rapidly and today people are accustomed to speed, usability. However, I want to ask some questions to people who predict the end of the paper news like: Have you ever thought about the advantages of paper news?. Paper news still play a important role in information delivery domain. Therefore, paper news won't disappear despite the Internet news has invaded the domain of paper news.

 As the Internet is developed and the usage of the Internet becomes various, it eventually came to ruler of our  society. It's not a exaggeration that almost people use Internet in order to get something like enjoyment through online games or convenience through Internet banking, online reservation systems. Furthermore, Internet entered the domain of information, which is taken charge of newspaper and actually the rates of getting information through Internet increase steadily. In a word, the existence of paper news is in danger. In fact, the major sources of income of paper news is advertisement. However, according to the Huffington Post, advertisers prefer to display their products or services on Internet news rather than paper news because people subscribe the Internet news more than it's counterpart- paper news. Furthermore, according to the Huffington Post's question investigation, people are tend to prefer to the Internet news because they can check on a lot of news even when they are moving(due to the spread of mobile phone) and actually the Internet news doesn't need to pay fee. 

 Despite of the trend of getting news is subscribing the Internet news, There will be no situation that paper news disappear because of invasion of the Internet news. I can be convinced the continuance of paper news because it has inherent characteristics to fight the Internet news. From now on, I'll argue why the Internet news cannot bother paper news. 

 First, paper news has editorial vigor. The rigid structure of the newspaper allows a higher level of synthesis between news stories, the editorial commentary and other components of the print version. The space limits also indicate a necessity for the most effective and relevant reporting to meet the consumer needs at the other end. The speed, flexibility and the expandability of online news sites mean that these boundaries are not in place, and the emphasis has switched from considered, selected news, to all news, immediately and everywhere. It could be argued therefore that the newspaper version has had more editorial thought put into its content, and therefore offers better value to the reader. 

 Second, paper news has depth and breadth. In a 2011 paper entitled "Newspapers Offer More News Than Do Major Online Sites" published in Newspaper Research Journal, Scott Maier wrote about print versus online newspapers in the actual quality of news delivered via the two media. He analysed major online news sources against print newspapers, and concluded that the print versions(and by association those identical electronic versions of the print) actually had more news reported in them than the online sites. 



 Third. paper news has tenacity of information. In a study conducted in 2011 by three doctoral candidates from the School of Journalism and Communication at the University of Oregon, it was observed that recall of news stories was higher in those who read from a newspaper than an online site, based mostly around the formatting and ease of access to a whole story in the print version. The whole report can be found here, and is an interesting read: Medium Matters : Newsreader's Recall and Engagement with Online and Print Newspapers. A second conclusion from this research was that since an online news story is quickly archived and stored in a fixed location, there is less subconscious impetus to store the information in memory as a simple online search query will return the article for reference very quickly. 

  It seems to be reasonable that our society is so transilient that many old-fashioned products or systems disappear. Also, as I mentioned before, people like Internet news's speed, convenience and paper news cannot fulfill this. However, we cannot assure the collapse of paper news. Some Internet news's characteristics which can be fatal Achilles heel of paper news are actually strength of paper news. As I mentioned before, space limits make editor post more in-depth article. Also, paper news is trying to fit themselves to chopping society- for example, many newspapers like The New York Times, Washington Post, Chicago Tribune are experimenting their departmentalization of newspaper publication time. One of the great advantages of the Internet news is the news is updating constantly. The New York Times, for example, made paper news in various time so that give updating new information. There still can be some people who have feeling of doubt the paper news because it is old-fashioned information-giving system. I agree the paper news is a little dated system. It can be a great weapon. Newspapers look the way they do thanks of centuries of evolution to ensure that the reader gets the best experience from the content. While the purpose of providing a decent experience to the end-user is predominantly the same for the online versions, where eye/mouse-tracking research has long been in effect to optimise the online experience, the need to implement prominent advertising placeholders and other cross-linking often sacrifices a clean and attractive layout. 

 Everything is about value in the delivery of news content, whether that value is rapid dissemination, or insightful editorial commentary. Internet news has its own advantages, so do paper news. Of course we live in the Internet society and it stands to reason that Internet news is more prevail compared to the paper news. However, it is absurd that the Internet news encroaches paper news and let them disappear. Paper news has great infrastructure and still have attractive characteristics. Furthermore, every historic events shared with paper news. Paper news's article is critical, on the one hand the paper news is impressive. There are many people who claim that the paper news will die. However, there are also a lot of people who love paper news. Therefore, newspaper won't disappear despite of Internet news invades the domain of paper news.
