There is one major difference between print news and online news. Usually print news will tell facts and much more factual information going very in-depth with factual information, while online news will share opinions and personal views of the writer with usually just a short summary, in order to just get a gist of the news story. Print news usually has direct quotes by important people who have contributed to the article. With the quote, the writer will work around that quote and write more in depth about the article.
I cannot say which is better. In my opinion they both have their advantages. While I was reading the newspaper, there were advertisements here and there, but not to the point of online news sources. There are way too many advertisements, however I believe that newspaper’s advertisements cost more for companies compared to online news source advertisements. At the same time, more and more people are learning to block out advertisements that are on print. For example, a turn of the page will block the advertisement out from your head, however, an online news source would have an advertisement that pops up as soon as you enter the site, making sure you saw the ad before they accessed the site. Most revenues for newspapers come from advertisements. If those ad’s move to the internet, the newspapers will be left with nothing and will eventually fall.
As technology advances everyday, I am starting to believe that online sources will take over print. With internet access becoming more and more regularly available to the public, most people who actually pay for internet service will want to take full advantage of it by going on free news sites and trying to get as much as a possible out of the internet. With readily available information over technological advancements, who would want to pick up a hard copy and read it.
A huge advantage I find in online news sources is the database. The data is archived and can be readily accessible through a search making it a huge resource. Also, another advantage is the real-time information update. So, as you can see, online news is emerging into the “new” news source.
