Blog 4
In my area of track, Journalism, print media is found in books, magazines, and newspapers. I'm not a huge magazine reader, but I do enjoy books and sometimes the newspaper from time to time. These print medias are found in peoples daily lives everyday. I personally don't read that much printed media, if I want to read the news I just go online to my local papers site and read up. Web based media has definitely played a bigger role in my life then printed media. I think its because of my generation, everyone I know that is my age is well rounded on the Internet. I think since the web has played a huge part in mine and my generations daily lives that we have just grown accustomed to web based media. After reading some of the classmates response to my discussion about printed media being a dying breed, I know that it is not actually a dying breed but for me personally, I prefer web based media. It is just so much more convenient, my laptop is right on my lap and I can find anything on it right here and now.

ReplyDeleteThat is so true. Even though I do enjoy reading the newspaper every morning I cannot deny that web based media is convenient because we can have access to information in one second! Like some days ago I wanted to know something about the earthquake that hit Chile and I just read all about it on the internet instead of waiting until next day to read the same information in the newspaper.
ReplyDeleteNowadays you can find all the worlds news on the net. People have certainly drifted away from print media because of the new technology which is introduced to them. Back in the day, people used to go to the coffee shop and read the newspaper and discuss it with the other people who are present there as well. Now people can just go to the net to BBC news or ABC news website and get the latest news and be off with their way. BUt television has played a major role, people can sit together and watch news on it as well, even discuss on the latest events. Newspaper is used today but very rarely.
