Newspapers lose to Digital Media

Newspapers rarely get to break a news story anymore, and most websites beat the cable news channels to the punch. Digital journalism allows for Reports to start out vague and general, and progress to a better put together story. Newspapers and TV cable are at a disadvantage because they generally can only put together stories when an ample amount of detail and information is available. Newspapers many times have to wait for the next day, or even two days later if it is late breaking, before being able to address a story! The physical newspaper looses a lot of ground to it’s online counterpart, Ad revenue has shifted to the internet, and subscription to the printed paper has gone way down. People are now able to go and see the news they want, when they want, without having to flip pages, fold the paper, or in most cases pay.
