Conclusion

In conclusion, it is evident that online print has shifted the overall production of newspapers. “However, time (and circulation numbers) shows that online news really has not impacted media all that much.” (Bhushan, 2009). Even so, printed versions have remained to dictate society. Rather than online sources, published newspapers present several benefits. Printed newspapers do not require readers to be computer savvy, nor do they require a device that is capable of accessing the internet. Also, it is proven that many people find printed versions to be more available and time conserving rather than an online source that an individual must uncover on the internet. Finally, most people resort to printed papers because they tend to be focused on the local news rather than the national. When it comes down to it…”as with any communication technologies, the future of online (and print) newspapers eventually will be determined by public response.” (Chyi & Lasorsa, 1999).
