Your local newspaper is experiencing low sales of its newspapers since many readers are now choosing the online version. Its current number of online subscribers is now three times the number of print subscribers. The newspaper has sent a survey to all of its print and online subscribers to see whether there is enough demand to keep the print version.
Option A : stop producing the print version of the newspaper
Option B: keep producing both the print and online versions
I vehemently reckon to keep producing both print and online versions of newspaper. Despite the convenience of getting data online, there’s still a large population that also reads traditional newspapers.
First and Foremost, in modern society and the high-tech world, not only news is updated very quickly ,but also an online newspaper can be read more elaborately as one can read the old issues too very easily at the click of the mouse. Secondly, neither online newspaper involves direct expenditure nor go off air. It is a continuous publication.
Secondly, unlike online, printed news is reliable information because it has to go through many levels of clearance to even be considered for print. It is considered to be trustworthy in content and stable in form, and it is accessible because it has standardized visual cues and can be understood regardless of social status. Additionally, the ability to mark-up the physical surface of the paper assists readers in understanding the content.
Considering these reasons, I firmly believe even though constructive ripples of online reading in terms of convenience is of paramount significance yet the definite advantages of printed newspaper cannot be ignored. Again these are my personal beliefs, but I will support whatever state authorities decides.
I appreciate the chance to supply input.
