Newspapers Vs. News In A Digital Era

OLD Vs.NEW
Since we have reached chapter 4 which discusses newspapers, I thought about uploading a video related to the topic of the chapter. Newspapers, as we predicted about books, are also facing a threat of whether or not they will still exist in the future. The digital revolution has been troubling for the newspaper industry. Newspapers have existed for quiet a long time, but now the Internet has also been taking over their work. By having special websites offering subscriptions for viewing the daily news, the newspaper's usage has declined. We are able to follow up on fresh information by accessing the Internet in a click of a button. Although there are many advantages of newspapers, but they are still impossible to update if any mistake in disseminating a news has already been printed out and sent to society. Since we are not sure of what the future holds we still cannot be sure if they will still exist in the future or not, especially when many people are used to their usage. The Internet now provides a constant, ever-changing source of information and entertainment for everyone!
